Title
Motoring mag: 1932 Alpine trial. Alpine Armstrongs
Date
c.1960
Description

Photocopy from an unkown magazine. Article by Alan Shipton. These days few people think of the rather staid and rather ponderous Armstrong Siddeley as a competition car. A few Sapphires ran in post-war Monte carlo rallies, but the company's image was not generally a sporting one - the efforts of Tommy Sopworth at tuning a 346 engine in his Sphinx project being largely ignored by the Coventry management. Page 46 - 53: 'The silver Sphinx goes south'. The story of the 1931 Monte Carlo rally by SCH Davis
