Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1934 Alvis Speed Twenty Tourer, with coachwork by Cross & Ellis, boasts a well-documented history, including its original registration to a brewery owner and later museum collection. Recent extensive mechanical refurbishment, including an engine rebuild and new tires, enhances its appeal, though a modern fuel pump departs from complete originality.
Condition

The car has benefited from extensive mechanical refurbishment including a complete engine rebuild, overhaul of the carburettors, magneto and dynamo, brakes relined, new 4.12:1 crown wheel installed, new friction linings to the front dampers, wheels re-spoked in stainless steel and four new Michelin tyres fitted. The car was rewired and a new radiator fitted by the previous owner but remains highly original apart from a modern Facet fuel pump under the wing. The car has extremely good weather equipment by way of four excellent side screens, and also comes with a double duck tonneau. Described as in generally very good mechanical condition
