Is there anything to do with Armstrong Siddley in there?

Nothing at all I'm afraid.

looks vaguely Triumph"esque" to me precursor to the Mayflower maybe?

You're on to something there!
Not the Mayflower though..
Will lock it for you for 48 hours to see if you can find any more out.

I'll take a stab at this being a special bodied Triumph Gloria.

No, that's not the right answer I'm afraid..

Is it an early, more conservatively styled Standard Vanguard proposal?

No, we've already established it was a Triumph.

Just a wild guess here but was it a Sir John Black proposal/prototype for the Triumph 1800/Renown?

It is indeed a development of the 1800, which eventually resulted in the razor-edged Renown.
As to who designed it, I'm not sure but I'll look further into it to see if I can find that out.
So you're getting a point but I'll have a look into it first before I give you it and move it!

The magazine this one came out of seems to have gone into storage already so I'll have to dig into it at a later date!

In the meantime the point is yours and the puzzle is solved.

Good wild guess!
