I have a rather good plan, as I adore alvises (is that the plural?) i have a plan, as i already have a te21 waiting in the garage ( only 3 more years till i can drive!) there is a slight problem though, as insurers don't like to insure above 1.6 litres-i have a plan to fit a John cooper works engine from a mini into it (it produces 210 horsepower) and then i will have the brilliance of the alvis-with an engine that is econamical and i can actully insure. - but will it fit?~anyone know?
@thatsmethatis Thanks for the compliment. Since I made the video I changed my mind and did give the car a bare metal respray, but I left the interior alone.
I was going to tell you to shut up with your "posh" accent. But because of the speedo trick that shows you have a brain... Your an allright guy with a cool car. my freind has an Alvis TD21 Coupe. Sound's great. Am i right in thinking the inline 6 is an aeroplane engine?
Actually the straight 6 is a car engine. They did make a plane engine but it was a 9 cylinder radial. Can't help the accent, you grow up speaking like those around you. Glad you like the car. I think the coupe is better looking than the convertible, which is usually the case, but I had never owned a convertible so wanted to try it (unless you count the 2CV).
@adamswindells1 God i remember bieng sat in the back of a 2CV with its roof down on a motorway. not somthing to enjoy. but i think that counts but you still have full sides on the vehicle on a 2CV. YEah my buddy has 2 Alvis's TD21 & a TE21 Coupe. thats going into restoration but its in pretty sound condition anyway. not a spot of rust on the body suprisingly.

An absolutely fabulous car. It is good to see it being driven properly, too. Thank you for posting what must be one of the best Youtube car videos.

Janet can't wait to drive the Alvis on those beautiful roads- "Is it like my Micra?"
