After some two years attempting to sell my TF21, I think I will need to change my strategy somewhat. Interest has waned of late in all but the top level of classics leaving the rest of us struggling. So I have lowered my price and the car is for sale as is in Barcelona. You will have to arrange collection or I can put you in touch with various possible transport companies if you so wish.

The specification is as follows; ZF manual with wires, power steering , 1967 one of the last. I bought it from Chris Prince more than two years ago with a view to completing it, but the bodyshop here has been very slow and now I have had a change of heart. I know it is not in the UK where the market lies, but it seems to me with so few TFs around and some of those that we have assessed are marginal by any criteria, it is almost a perfect car to restore, without surprises. Very unmolested, needing repairs in the usual places, all external bodywork, but it is not a difficult or complicated restoration which is why I bought it. Please do not confuse it with many others out there. Virtually all the interior would go again. I think Chris had it running a few years ago but it has not run since. The Dunlop brakes will need attention but that is not difficult nor expensive, I can tell you how to buy the piston and cylinder assemblies at reasonable prices or an upgrade if that is what is preferred.

The body restoration has been started, the areas with a small amount of rust have been cut away awaiting new metal. The guys here thought is would be relatively straight forward and I am inclined to agree withem. The pictures do not do it justice, I went to Barcelona at the end of last year and spent several hours going through everything in great detail. Apart from a very small rust hole on one of the inner panels, there is no rust underneath at all. It will require sills and the work around the headlamps will need to be done a bit better, but my bodyman here did not see that as a problem. Apart from that it is a question of using new metal to replace the areas cut away and one or two others on the lower wings, but really not much. It is such a genuine car in this regard.

With its three carburetters and power steering along with a later ZF five speed box, the TF is, in my view, the model to buy if you are looking for a post war Alvis. they are rare and desirable and incredibly undervalued compared to what else is out there. Are they really only worth 10% of an Aston or half the price of an AC Greyhound?? Surely that cannot be right??

There are various new parts included , rubber seals etc. and a head gasket set.

The car is complete, RHD and still registered in the UK. There is a large history file

I have been informed that the value of the ZF5-20 gearbox alone is worth nearly the asking price, (if you could ever find one!),

i have owned other Alvis models before and regard them very highly.

You are most welcome to come and see it, I would urge you to do so. I can pick you up from Barcelona or Reus airport. You could make a weekend of it or incorporate a short holiday. It is a good time to come before the humid summers than we get here.
