Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1949 Alvis TA14, known as the Ben Serjeant Special, was rebuilt in the 1990s from a non-running project. It features a newer exhaust but has seats needing adjustment and a boot lid that's screwed down. Offered by an Alvis enthusiast to free up space, it presents an affordable entry into Alvis ownership with potential for further refinement.
