In 1919 the British based Armstrong Siddeley was formed and founded by John Davenport Siddeley. Siddeley had a history in the automotive business that dates back to the early 1890s. He was a bicycle racer and designer who was hired by the Humber Cycle Company to help in their efforts. A year later he was employed by Dunlop. By 1902 he had formed the Siddeley Autocar Company which imported Peugeots from France. It was later purchased by Wolseley of Coventry. Siddeley worked with the Wolseley company until resigning in 1909 to manage the Deasy Motor Company. The company later became the Siddeley-Deasy Company, growing in size and employing thousands of workers. After World War I the company merged with Armstrong-Whitworth and became known as Armstrong Siddeley. Siddeley remained with the company until 1935 and the company was in business until 1960.
The Typhoon was produced in 1946 and was powered by a 2-liter six-cylinder engine. It had a fixed head coupe configuration and would remain in production until 1949. In total there were 1,701 examples of the Typhoon produced. The Typhoon Sports Saloon was similar to the Hurricane model, which had been introduced in 1945, but featured a fixed hard top.
Armstrong Siddeley Motors was the first company based in the UK to introduce a new line of vehicles after World War II.
