Hi everyone,
After browsing OCC Forum for a while, I have signed up.

I have a 1963 Sunbeam Alpine Series 3, which is on the road, and used quite often.

I also have a 1935 Armstrong Siddeley 17HP Sports Saloon that I inherited from my father. Dad and I started to restore her around the time I finished high school (about 33 years ago!). Sadly the restoration stopped after the 'dismantle' stage, Dad refurbished the brake drums and linings and spring bushes, but then stopped. So I've inherited a chassis, a body and many boxes of parts with 30+ year-old labels on them.

I'm starting to look at what I have and cleaning up some items for the chassis. I have joined the Armstrong Siddeley club here in Australia for local support.

Regards,
Paul Heuer
Adelaide, Australia.

Welcome to the forum, you must post some pictures!

The Armstrong Siddeley sounds quite a challenge, but well worth the effort if only because it meant something to your dad. I wish you well with it.

Welcome aboard - it'd be great to see a thread or two about your projects in the Ownership - Your Cars... category Smile
