Trying to locate any pictures of 1952 test tracks of prep for Monte Carlo Rally. My car was built in 1952 when the Motor industry was trying to impress the world to "Buy British". The Kings death necessitated a Coronation for the following Year (2nd June, 1953). The Armstrong Siddeley ("Whitley" 18hp, Chassis No 1813263: Engine No 1813264), was superseded by the new Sapphire so the test car became The Directors Car, and was Registered (Or RE-Registered) on 1st Jan, 1953. I believe the car, was sold (gifted??) to the chauffeur on his retirement. I now own that car - a long time ago when I was a mere underpaid apprentice - I am now retired and have more time to do some restoration, so I'm looking for any of its Road Test Days.
Incidentally, there was a Film innvolving British Actors living in a very nice house about 1953.. Can't remember the Actors - but certainly well known.. (Michael Dennison perhaps?? Jean Lockwood????) Anyone know the Film, or the car Reg..... Black and white Film, and the A/S Whitley was apparently all black. Much thanks
