Hi Chris its been 2 years are you still the custodian of this lovely vehicle? I have a Maltby Redfern Tourer 17hp Armstrong Siddeley. Its very early 1936 and the patent was put on by Maltby for the hydraulic hood in 1936. So unsurprisingly mine is hand pump,as Francis Redfern was at the developemental stage with the electric version. Mine is off the road for a simple restoration. I would like to get in contact if you have been passed any information about Maltby which may not be common knowledge. Very little is really known about them ,i have researched a little and built upon some work done by a man named Munro Donald who wrote an article for The Automobile (UK) magazine. Unfortunately a lot of the history of my car has been lost .I have traced the ownership back to 1968 with photographs. Prior to that nothing apart from its brief appearance in a movie for four minutes.It was driven by Nigel Patrick in a 1957 film made with Jeffery Hunter called "Count Five and Die"
