Robert Penn Bradly

Robert Penn Bradly, the author, has been a motoring writer since the mid 1980’s and contributor to car club magazines for over 40 years. He has a passion for motor cars and is particularly interested in rare and quality, low volume production cars, especially if of the luxury or sporting segments. He has a desire to see that such cars are restored both authentically and to original specification. He also has a strong belief that all older cars and utilities be regularly used to ensure their reliability and long term viability.

He was a founder member of the Australian Armstrong Siddeley Car Club in 1960 and also a founder of the Daimler and Lanchester Owners Car Club in 1971, The Classic and Specialist Car Club of Northern NSW in 1975, and the ACT branch of the Rolls Royce and Bentley Club in 1983. He is regarded as a specialist valuer and has on numerous occasions been required to value cars for Court proceedings. Robert has been a feature writer for the National magazine “Restored Cars” since the mid 1990’s, and has produced a raft of stories on all manner of specialist and rare cars for Restored Cars and other major motoring magazines

Whilst he has had many rare cars over many year, his prime love has been Armstrong Siddeley cars, of which he has worked on and restored many examples representing many eras.
