Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1961 Alvis TD21 Drophead Coupé, one of only 192 made, was sold from the Dering Collection. It features a factory overdrive, Series II specification front disc brakes, EZ power steering, and a recent engine overhaul by Red Triangle, making it a mechanically sound and regularly used classic.

This suggests a solid condition with slight wear visible, requiring minor reconditioning.

Suitably adapted for production by Park Ward, the newcomer's decidedly elegant coachwork sat atop a rigid box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension and a leaf-sprung back axle.
Powered by a 2,993cc OHV straight-six engine allied to either a four-speed manual or Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the four-seater boasted a 100mph-plus top speed.
