1951 Alvis TA21 drop-head coupe.    Ref:  2234    Date:  1/2/2025

Tickford bodied, in Ivory with Beige hood.

This attractive TA21 DHC has been with its present owners since 1998, having been restored in around 1989-90 by renowned AOC members Brian Bowler and family, from near Crewe. First registered on 8th October 1951 Chassis number 24332, Engine number 24919 starts on the button and drives well. A regular attender at the Classic car shows at Amberley museum and many other Sussex shows. Maintained and nurtured by the present owners and garaged inside, but a new owner is now needed to take over for the next twenty years.... Minor cosmetic body blemishes hence a realistic price of £24,950 will secure this lovely car.

1932 Speed 20SA    Ref:  2236    Date:  1/4/2025

GY6949 - Post war was owned by Lt Comm Bryce Clinkard RN (Clink) - who at the time was the AOC Technical Advisor. With him the car travelled worldwide, purportedly well protected on the deck of his destroyer! This could account for the Ceylon AA badge on the badge bar. Following on it passed through a further 3 owners before being purchased by the current owner in 2009. Owner no 3 loaned the Speed 20 to the Brooklands museum for several years where it was displayed.
Over the last 16 years GY6949 has had at considerable expense, a body off respray including repairs to some ash framing, a comprehensive engine rebuild along with a gearbox and steering box overhaul, mostly by Tim Walker Restorations who is well known in Alvis circles. A thick file of history shows work carried out back to the 1950’s.
It is an exceptionally comfortable ride, due to some extent to its air filled seats which help to cushion quite a few modern pot holes! Four new tyres were fitted recently along with some new carpets.
It is a very attractive early Van den Plas tourer produced from the first production batch of 100 models in 1932 ordered by Charles Follett the London dealer.
The factory build sheet shows Car no.14583 chassis no 9874 together with engine no 10326. The gear box is a recondioned one no. 8276 fitted whilst the original box no. 9880 was itself bing rebuilt. The latter will be sold with the car for originality purposes.
The vehicle is currently registered on SORN
