1951 Alvis TA21 3 position drop head by Tickford.

This car is Chassis 23871 which according to the Alvis owners Club was the Earls Court Motor show Car (or. at least the body was!)

Following the motor show the car was converted to LHD and sold to Hauser of Switzerland. the Alvis dealer in Geneva. It remained there for a couple of years before being purchased by a collector who exported it to California. USA. In 2001 it was returned to RHD and reimported to the UK and has been in the current keeper's ownership since 2002.

It has undergone significant restoration and presents very well. The original grey coachwork has been completely repainted along with maroon stripe. The wheels refurbished and tyres replaced. The hood was replaced a couple of years ago and is in perfect condition with no rips or tears. The brightwork (chrome) is all in good order with the exception of the bumpers which would benefit from re chroming. The Maroon leather interior is in good order and everything appears to work.

It starts on the button and runs well. It has the 4 speed gearbox and goes through all gears. We've driven her briefly with no problems.

In terms of documentation we have a folder containing the current & old style V5. the original Buff log book. the Californian Certificate of Title. a number of invoices relating to when the car was in the USA. a letter from Alvis Owner Club confirming the drophead body being used at Earls Court Motor Show. although no longer required an Mot test certificate which expires in August 2015. and a number of old MoT test certificates. invoices. and parts bills.

A little TLC should bring this old girl fully back to former glory. Will someone give her a home and cherish her like she deserves?

Questions and viewing welcome - we're just 2 mins from J3 of the M3. Bagshot. Surrey.
