1951 Alvis TC21 Drophead Coupe Tickford

Estate 1951 Alvis TC21/DHC Tickford

n collectors are not familiar with the Alvis Marque.  In its day, and even in today's world, the Alvis is a highly developed motor car which was found to be in the same price range as the and other fine cars of that era.  This Alvis type TA21 was announced in 1950 looking much like its four cylinder TA14 predecessor but featuring independent front suspension and a new, overhead valve, six cylinder, three litre engine.  Styled along classic, pre-war lines, the Three re was reckoned by tocar ine to appeal to "discerning owners who appreciate quality and good handling as well as performance."  Tickford body builders built 302 dropheads and most were right-hand drive as is this one.  The drophead coupes were announced in the 1951 season and the introduction of open-top models was calculated to boost sales in the ited States market where Alvis was beginning to make an impact.  Perhaps the best thing about it is that many of the handling characteristics of the sports car have been built into the chassis which combined with a low center of gravity and a reasonable amount of space, make this fine car something of a compromise suited to those who want both family car and sportscar features all in one.
