 Alvis seldom get the credit for technical inventiveness that they deserve. They were one of the pioneers of front-wheel drive. This 6-cylinder model has a more sporting body than usual for Alvis of that period. They gradually began to move up in the market to compete with Bentley. An example of this is the car further down this page. After the war the production was very limited until the introduction of TD.21 From 1967 the Alvis firm ended car production to concentrate on the armoured vehicle side of their business. In 1998, after merging with GKN the Coventry works was closed. |
