Arriving in 1958, the Star Sapphire was the highlight of Armstong-Siddeley’s Sapphire range. The model boasted a host of special features as standard, including an independent heater for passengers to the rear, concealed door hinges and much improved performance from the enlarged 3990cc engine with twin carburettors. Many now would say that the Star Sapphire is a desirable, more economical alternative to a Bentley or Rolls-Royce; others would consider the model superior to any Jaguar. Some have even been known to race and rally the Star Sapphire successfully! With just over nine hundred saloons ever built and few remaining survivors today, the rare and impressive model has good performance and is a relatively easy motor car to drive, assisted by power steering.

'URD 154' was first registered on 20th March 1960 (the last year of Armstrong Siddeley production) and was specified with power steering and automatic transmission, making the car a very usable machine today. Well known within Armstrong Siddeley circles (and regularly photographed at shows with its sister car 'URD 153') the car shows eight previous keepers on its V5C registration document. The car was previously owned by the late Mr Ives who sold the car to the current keeper prior to his passing. A serial Armstrong Siddeley owner, Mr Ives maintained the car to a high standard before ultimately deciding it was too much for him. The current owner, again a gentleman who owns a number of classics and is very capable of continuing upkeep completed a full service on the car which included all fluids, ignition parts and filters. The vendor has used the car regularly and we have met him at numerous shows with the car. The car also comes with a number of spares including gauges, a spare gearbox, exhaust manifolds and more that can be collected from the vendor's address after sale.
