1933 ALVIS FIREFLY CROSS & ELLIS DROPHEAD COUPE
United Kingdom • 23 Feb 2026 • Lot 3
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1933 Alvis Firefly is a rare drophead coupe, one of only a handful believed to exist. While it starts and runs, and has a solid engine and working gearbox, it would benefit from recommissioning after a period of standing, and has had some cosmetic work over the years.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in good usable condition but would benefit from some recommissioning due to standing for some years. The bodywork is good 'considering it's 93 years' with some touching up, and the upholstery has been renewed. There are also some non-standard fittings. This indicates moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning.

1933 ALVIS FIREFLY CROSS & ELLIS DROPHEAD COUPE
Out of a limited production of just 871 units between 1932 and 1934, only 133 of these were originally built as drophead coupés.
It is thought that just 30 examples of the Alvis Firefly exist worldwide and possibly just four or five examples of the drophead coupé making this a very rare car indeed.
Having been in long-term private ownership for over 25 years, this vehicle has toured France and Ireland.
It also featured in the 2009 TV drama 'Landgirls' as driven by Dominic Mafham with Sophie Ward.
The engine is solid and reliable, the pre-selector gearbox is reported as working well.
There are various non-standard fittings such as brake tester, flight magnetic compass together with a retrofitted centre console box arrangement over the gearbox.
Reported as a fun car with style and panache, the car benefits from a new battery.
The bodywork is good considering it's 93 years- there has obviously been some touching up over the years.
