AI Listing Summary
This 1936 Alvis Speed Twenty-Five Drophead Coupé, with coachwork by E Bertelli Ltd, is a unique, matching numbers example unknown to the Alvis Owner Club since the 1980s. While the engine is running with good oil pressure, the car requires cosmetic restoration to the body, paintwork, and interior, including new carpets and a convertible hood, and the clutch is currently seized, presenting a rewarding project for restoration enthusiasts.
Condition
4
The car's body and paintwork require restoration, as does the original interior, which lacks carpets, and there is no convertible hood. All gears are free and there are no knocks from the rear axle, but the clutch is seized. The electrics are in generally good condition, all lights being present, and the car benefits from the installation of a Red Triangle up-rated starter motor.

The latter was powered by a new overhead-valve engine of 1,496cc, and on its competition debut at Brooklands in 1923 secured a legendary victory in the premier 200-Mile event crewed by Harvey/Tattershall.
The production version went on sale later that same year priced at £550.
