1961 ALVIS TD21

Imperial War Museum | Duxford, Cambridgeshire 38000 - 45000 Registration No: 569 TTT Chassis No: 26475 MOT: March 2026 � 1 of just 192 Alvis TD21 Series I Drophead Coupes made and featuring coachwork by Park Ward � Uprated to Series II specification with a ZF five-speed manual transmission and front disc brakes � The beneficiary of a comprehensive restoration during the 1980's � Accompanied by a large history file including documentation relating to the restoration and copies of the factory records Launched in late 1958, the Alvis TD21 was stylistically indebted to a special-order Hermann Graber Coupe variant of its TC21/100 predecessor. Suitably reinterpreted 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 2993cc 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. Featuring a polished wood fascia, leather upholstery, and pile carpets, the TD21 could be had in two-door Saloon or Drophead Coupe guises and was every bit as luxurious as its contemporaries. Superseded by the Series II in 1962, just 192 of the 784 Series I cars made were Drophead Coupes. More information to follow.
