The Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire is a large automobile which was produced by the British company, Armstrong Siddeley Motors Limited, from 1952 to 1960.
A distinctive element of the Sapphires was the traditional Armstrong Siddeley V-shaped radiator grille with the Sphinx motif mounted on it.
On some models the sphinx sported aircraft wings carrying tiny Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire jet engines.
The Sapphire 346 was also available on a long wheelbase (extended by 21 inches or 535 mm) chassis with a body incorporating a limousine division.
