Armstrong-Whitworth

The Armstrong-Whitworth was an English automobile manufactured from 1904 (when the Tyneside engineering and shipbuilding company took over construction of the flat-four Wilson-Pilcher, with its preselective transmission that first appeared in 1901) until 1919 (when the company merged with Siddeley-Deasy and began construction of the Armstrong-Siddeley). From 1906 the manufacturer was increasingly concerned with the Armstrong-Whitworth; a handsome car along Mercedes lines, this featured engines from 12/14hp to 40hp. Most of these were fours, though a 3050hp six appeared in 1912.
