Description Rare Tickford-bodied 100bhp DHC; one of only 81 made; just five owners from new with a vast history file; runs beautifully; a wonderful example of this quality open tourer Introduced in 1953, the Alvis TC21 3-litre was aimed at the sort of chap who might also have a Bentley MkVI or a Lagonda 2.6 on his shopping list.
A chap like the Duke of Edinburgh perhaps, or Sir Douglas Bader, both of whom succumbed to the charms of the Alvis.
While a steady chap like the Duke might opt for the Mulliner Saloon version, a raffish sort like Bader could (and did) opt for the Tickford Drophead Coupe in top spec TC21/100 Grey Lady form.
With a high compression cylinder head and taller final drive ratio, it was credited with 100bhp and a headline-grabbing 100mph top speed.
Only 81 TC21/100 Dropheads were made before the TC21 was replaced by the TC 108G Saloon in 1956.
This particular Grey Lady has had just five owners to date and comes with a vast history file from new.
