Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary

Condition
8
The car presents very well overall with a high standard of paintwork and a well-preserved interior. There are only minor imperfections, such as a small bubble near the headlamp and a chip on the bonnet's leading edge, which do not detract significantly from its appearance. The mechanicals appear sound, with a pleasing engine note and smooth gearbox operation, though the rev counter requires attention. The car has benefited from a restoration and desirable upgrades, indicating excellent care.

Description
A superb example of the Alvis TD21, combining handsome Park Ward drophead coachwork with a lovely straight-six engine and several desirable later-model upgrades.
A rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest hand-built cars ever produced in the UK.
The Alvis is fitted with polished wire wheels and traditional two-eared knock-off spinners.
The wheels present extremely well, and provide the perfect finishing touch to the car’s sporting yet understated appearance.
The spokes, rims, and centre fittings all appear smart, with no significant corrosion or damage apparent during our visit.
Period-style tyres are fitted, which appear to retain a suitable level of tread.
Given that the car has spent time in storage, prospective buyers should confirm their age and condition before returning it to regular road use.
Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition.
