| Early in 1959 Alvis made an
agreement with the Park Ward and Co. to produce bodies
for their new TD.21 3-litre cars. The saloon and
convertible models closely resembled the Swiss
Graber-built versions, but they were very different in
construction and detail. They had steel bodies except for
the roof of the saloon and the luggage locker lid. The
6-cylinder engine gave 104 b.h.p. (nett) at 4000 rpm to
propel the 29 cwt (1.500 kg) car to 100 m.p.h. This Alvis is a later model with double headlights instead of the aesthetically more pleasing single arrangement of the earlier model. |
