This beautifully restored Alvis is the top-of-the-line version which incorporated many improvements and additional features. One of these was that the 100bhp engine propelled the car to 100 miles per hour, which was quite a feat in a saloon car in the 1950s.
The Grey Lady model also featured wire spoke wheels with knock-off hubs, fog and spot lights, hidden door hinges, and many other details plus twin carburettors, dual exhausts and other mechanical upgrades.
Luxuriously fitted out with traditional British leather upholstery and lots of polished woodwork inside, these were very comfortable cars.
Just six Grey Lady Alvises were sold new in Australia, this one delivered new in Adelaide.
This car was restored a few years ago and the present owner has added some improvements, but has mostly enjoyed driving the car on weekends and club runs, including to the country where the 3-litre 6-cylinder motor excels. It’s a smooth motor which gives excellent performance.
Registered 1CYY 989 on club registration. A rare opportunity.
