A Hurrican Dropped Coupe -- (Not a landcaster Saloon, there was no other option of model to select)
Offered here is a rare and elegant 1948 Armstrong Siddeley Hurricane Drophead Coupe, a highly desirable post-war British touring convertible produced in extremely limited numbers and typically finished by UK coachbuilders (often attributed to Mulliner-style coachwork).
Unlike the more common saloon versions, the Drophead Coupe was a low-volume luxury offering designed for refined open-air motoring, featuring a folding fabric hood and a proper windscreen with full side glass — a true gentleman’s convertible rather than a stripped-down roadster.

The Hurricane Drophead is best described as a refined luxury tourer — comparable in spirit to a Bentley Mk VI Drophead Coupe, though smaller in scale. It is built for comfort, prestige, and craftsmanship, not outright sporting performance.
Collector Notes
The Armstrong Siddeley Hurricane Drophead Coupe is significantly rarer than comparable Jaguars, Bentleys, or Daimlers of the era, making it a standout collector piece. Values remain strong due to scarcity, particularly for well-preserved examples.
