Alvis

Anyone know much about these? Spotted darn sarf (near Portsmouth) last weekend. Chaps told me they were mid 30's 4.5 litre.

Sounded awesome!

Big money for these. Try these guys as an information source, they bring them in for service, refurbishment and repairs from all over Europe they may know of an owner wishing to sell.

Big money indeed. A 1937 4.3l tourer recently sold for £198k:

Ooof, serious cash that.

One of the cars was a single-seater, one was a two-seater.

What kind of power do they make? Seemed pretty quick in the 30-80 full-throttle burst the chaps did upon request!

No idea on the power output but the 1930s racers were running superchargers. www.alvisoc.org has a reasonable spread of info.

These look to me like specials -probably Firefly or Firebird chassis with a speed 25 or 4.3 litre engine, maybe supercharged. Quite a few of these racing in the VSCC, pretty quick and competitive. IMHO Alvis are very underrated -I would take a 4.3 Vanden Plas Tourer over a vintage Bentley any day.
