ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY CAR CLUB
South Australian Branch

We are fortunate to have a number of very well preserved original manuals and handbooks, and sadly we also have a number of items that are in need of special care lest they fall apart. Many have been photocopied so that members can borrow them without fear of damaging them. Those more delicate items will not be available for loan and will be labeled "Not for Loan". Members will be asked to borrow other hardier copies.

Members are reminded to return the item within a reasonable time frame. It is important for us to keep close track of these resources. We are always grateful for any contribution of items, articles or suggestions for resource material.
