Description
The 12/ 50 is a significant model in Alvis history for many reasons. It was the car that really marked the arrival of Alvis as a serious and successful car maker and set the standard for the remainder of the company's car production. Alvis took the basic side valve design and converted it to pushrod overhead valves in 1923 and all subsequent production Alvis cars had overhead valves. It was immediately apparent that this was a quite exceptional 1500cc sports car and, with minor changes, it was reborn as the immortal 12/ 50; the very quintessence of the vintage sports car.
This Alvis 12/ 50 was first registered in Dundee on the 31st July 1931 and has spent the last 50 years in a barn in West Sussex.
As you can see this is a big project or a great source for spares, it is largely complete but is missing some items.
We do have a buff logbook but no other paperwork.
