The Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire is a large automobile that was made by the British company, Armstrong Siddeley, from 1952 to 1960.
A distinctive feature of the Sapphires is the traditional Armstrong Siddeley V-shaped radiator grille with the Sphinx motif mounted on it.
On some models, the sphinx has aircraft wings, with tiny Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire jet engines.
