This 1951 Alvis TA21 Drophead Coupe can be categorised as a good looking & strong driver. Not a concourse untouchable specimen but a driver that is ready to go out on classic adventures in style. This convertible is one of only 302 every produced by “Alvis Car & engineering Company LTD” factory in Coventry UK. The company existed from 1919 to 1967 and not only produced civilian cars but also manufactured racing cars, aircraft engines, armoured military vehicles etc.
So, you will understand that with all that engineering knowledge they were able to produce a fine automobile. The body of the drop head coupe was made in cooperation with in in those days leading coachbuilder “Tickford”.
