The Alvis Three Litre, TC 21 is an automobile produced by British manufacturer Alvis between 1953 and 1955. An updated version of the Three Litre TA 21, it was available as a 4-door saloon and, in its later TC 21/ 100 form, also as a 2-door drophead coupé.
The TC. 21/ 100 or Grey Lady announced 20 October 1953 came with a guarantee of a speed of 100 mph resulting from an improved exhaust system and an engine compression ratio raised from 7:1 to 8:1 to take advantage of the availability of better petrol. The final drive ratio was raised from 4. 09:1 to 3. 77:1. A paired front fog lamp and matching driving lamp became a standard fitting. The bonnet gained air scoops and wire wheels were fitted to try to enliven the car's image. A heater was fitted as standard but a radio remained an expensive option.
A saloon version tested by The Motor magazine in 1954 had a top speed of 100. 1 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 15. 4 seconds. A fuel consumption of 20. 6 miles per imperial gallon was also recorded.
