1932 Alvis 12/ 60 TL Sports Saloon – An ideal Entry into Vintage Alvis Ownership
For those looking to enjoy Vintage Alvis ownership without the premium of an open tourer, this attractive 1932 Alvis 12/ 60 TL Sports Saloon offers an excellent opportunity.
The 12/ 60 represented the final development of Alvis’s highly successful 12/ 50 series and benefits from a number of worthwhile improvements, including knock-off wire wheels, a tachometer and the lively 1645cc engine with twin SU carburettors. Just 229 examples of the 12/ 60 were produced.
Coachbuilt by Cross & Ellis, this Sports Saloon has clearly enjoyed long-term enthusiast ownership. Restored some years ago, it has matured into an honest, well-sorted Vintage motor car with an appealing period character and patina.
Importantly, this is a car that has been driven and enjoyed rather than simply displayed. During the current ownership it has been regularly maintained and used, resulting in a mechanically strong and confidence-inspiring example that is ready for touring, club events and Vintage motoring.
The car retains its original Coventry registration number and is accompanied by an impressive history file including an RF60 logbook dating from 1948, invoices and maintenance records from the early 1960s onwards, the first MOT certificate issued in 1962 and, most significantly, its original Alvis Factory Build Sheet.
Original saloon-bodied Alvis models of this period are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly those retaining their original identity and accompanied by such comprehensive provenance.
For anyone seeking the engineering quality, character and driving pleasure for which Vintage Alvis motor cars are renowned, this represents an affordable and highly usable entry into marque ownership.
