Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1934 Alvis Silver Eagle Tourer, with coachwork by Cross & Ellis, boasts single family ownership for 50 years and a comprehensive restoration in the late 1990s. While in very good condition and featuring a rebuilt engine (with a crankcase change noted), potential buyers should be aware that the original engine number is different and road tax entitlement won't transfer.

The car is described as being in generally very good condition and ready to enjoy. It has undergone a complete 'body off' restoration in the late 1990s, with the body's ash frame repaired, interior re-trimmed, and a re-spray.

However, the engine number has been changed, and no road tax entitlement will carry over to the new owner.
