No. Give me an Armstrong any day. They were genuine 100 MPH cars. In any case, you're in one camp or another. I appreciate Jaguars but cannot enthuse about them like I can the Sphinxes. Same with the Humber, which I've always loved, and will never own a Rover. Incidentally the engines of the Series Super Snipes were designed and manufactured by Armstrong Siddeley on behalf of Humber at their Burlington Works, I guess I'm a sucker for cars that are a little bit different and shunned by the masses, for good reason.

I just fear it will be wasted, considering what little appreciation exists in the face of such uneducated popular folklore awash with a complete suppression of hard facts.
Then you would be wrong.

Not only should that 16 remain unrestored, I'd be running it on those plates as well for as long as humanly possible.
