Condition
7
The car has been restored, with a color change, and has received much attention. The interior is original, the bodywork is in good order, and the doors and sunroof work well. The car runs and drives well, but the paintwork was smartened up which indicates it wasn't perfect.

Description A most attractive Alvis Sports Saloon from the Post-War era; 3-litre engine; great colour scheme; nicely original interior; just 22,000 miles in the last 50 years Better known simply as the Three Litre, the Alvis TA21 was launched in 1950 as the successor to the TA14 and was the company’s first all new post-war car.
More streamlined than its predecessor, it was also wider and longer with a stiffer chassis and considerably more power from an all-new six-cylinder engine.
Other improvements included Lockheed hydraulic brakes, independent front suspension with coil springs and adjustable Luvax hydraulic dampers.
Coachwork was normally of the traditional four-door sports saloon type by Mulliner and the accent was on luxury and refinement.
Initially rated at 86bhp with a single Solex carb, the power output soon rose to 93bhp with the adoption of twin SU carbs, raising the top speed close to the magic ton.
This 1951 Mulliner saloon came to the attention of the vendor in 2017 ...
