On this day fifty years ago the first three Works TF21s were registered FVC 895D FVC 896D and FVC 897D in readiness for the announcement at the Geneva Salon of the Three Litre Series Four.

Gentlemen, I have TF2, engine & chassis 27412. Original date of sale 26/6/1967. I purchased the car in Melbourne from Dr. John Forbes-Proctor on 12 November 2003. I don’t know the car’s history.
She is presently laid up, awaiting restoration. The chassis is badly rusted and will need to be replaced.

I owned and did a first restoration on FVC 895D we wrote it up in Classic Car with photos etc Adrian Rogers A@drrogers.co.uk Drop head manual– fantastic car except for tendency to rust!!
My dad owns kuk 101d,his first car….still very much in love.
GEY385E was owned by me in France bought from the estate of a Mr Good of Bicester who had it on a private plate and who had found it in the flooded cellar of a nursing home. Resold by me in 2009 (to fund acquisition of 12/50 ) after changing the B/W box for a modern ZF auto box but with links created to original B/W controls under the dash – the only modification I’ve ever made to an Alvis car!
I recently purchased as very good owner’s handbook which had the the update lubrication guide inserted and also the power steering insert, neither of which appear bound into the owner’s handbooks and so i am quite excited to share these with you which I think should be put up on the site to let all of those other owners who have hand books without these two valuable insertions. I have scanned these and am attempting to send them to you at the Archive Trust so that you can hopefully put them on the site, somewhere where people can find them for easy and quick reference.

A beautiful car with an interesting history!

We have a lot of history of the car with AOC members.
My dad owned and restored alvis tf21 dhc hdv 149d restored it in the winter 1982 is this car still around
Hello Jack, yes it is now registered WEE 2 and owned by Mike Baker.
My father and I owned XLE 9 (Body 9300 Chassis 27425) from 2000 -2007. Dark blue with pale blue leather interior seats and carpet. A beautiful car in great condition. My father was Roland Andrews Manufacturing Manager at Alvis for many years and I grew up visiting the factory on Saturday mornings – often going down to the Bagington test track and being fortunate to have rides in Saracens and Saladins if they were being put through their paces (clearly pre ‘health & safety’!!). I have a few photos if anyone is interested.
Many thanks for your note about your TF21 which I am pleased to report is still in fine condition in Switzerland.
Our records are showing another named owner from 1995-2005 which would seem to be a mistake – he declared ownership of the car in 1996 when he joined the AOC. We would be very pleased to see the photos of the car in your ownership and pass them on to the current custodian. Photos and further comments can be emailed to alvisarchive@btinternet.com
Hello Mrs. Greenwell
I bought your former ALVIS from Mr. Lloyd. I restored the car, chose the color british racing green, with beige leather interior. I am very interested in the history of the car. So if you could send me photos and other documents, I would be very pleased. If you can give me your e-mail address I will send you also pictures from the present Alvis.
I am living in Luzern, in the middle of Switzerland.
We will soon send you photos from pur restored Alvis.
Best regards
Norbert Stutz
