John Halcrow
John Halcrow was the founder of Big River Models, an Australian specialist model-maker who began producing highly detailed hand-built 1:43 scale model cars in the 1990s. He personally created the patterns, moulds and castings, producing models of Australian and British classics-including Armstrong Siddeleys, which became particularly sought after by collectors worldwide.

About our club
The Armstrong Siddeley Car Club in Australia was formed in 1960 by a group of Sydney enthusiasts. There are now Branches in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. Although there is no active branch in Queensland at the moment, members there join us for the annual National Rally and participate in other motoring events in Queensland.Coming events
