A small boy in the 1950's could not get his tongue round the name of his uncle's Armstrong Siddeley and always called it a 'Tumtumtiddly' hence the esoteric name of this website, and also of my Armstrong Siddeley Hurricane.

Armstrong Siddeley, established in 1919 when Armstrong Whitworth took over the Siddeley Deasy company, was for over forty years, until 1960, an English manufacturer of high quality, prestigeous coach built motor cars bearing the famous Sphinx mascot.

The purpose of this website is twofold. Firstly it is to provide anybody interested in hiring a rare classic motor car for a wedding, civil partnership ceremony, anniversary, celebration or other special occasion, with the opportunity to rent an Armstrong Siddeley Hurricane drop-head coupe 'Tumtumtiddly'.

Secondly, it is to enable other classic car enthusiasts, whether owners of classic cars or not, to learn more about the history of Armstrong Siddeley and the company's range of quality motor cars. Visit Gallery (click here)to see a selection of recent photographs of my own Hurricane 'Tumtumtiddly' several other Armstrong Siddeleys which I have owned, together with a number of 'visiting' vehicles.
