We were delighted that so many of the Alvis owners attending the International Weekend chose to visit us with their cars.
First in from the Netherlands was Coen van der Weiden in his TE21 drophead who helped guide visitors into Hycilla

Our next visitor – a 4.3 short chassis Vanden Plas saloon, 14870 EVC 240, originally Ultramarine Blue…..followed by another 4.3 Charlesworth saloon now with Paul Chasney. AOC President Frank Kay’s Speed 20 in the background.
Some 65 visitors from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, France (Patrick Rollet, President of FIVA), Germany, Austria, Norway, Florida and New Zealand then kept us busy answering questions for the rest of the day.

Hello, I own OPC the green TF and it is very uplifting to see one’s car in the archive emails. IAW was a great and very enjoyable event.
I had a really interesting visit and rummaged endlessly with Owen and Derek. We are organising Brooklands for the South East Alvis Day on 17 August so looked for and found photos of the 1992 and 1999 SEAD visits.
IAW I attended in 2012 and am hoping for a large turnout this August.
It was reassuring to see the work carried out by the Archive team to protect the Alvis Heritage. New friends made and much learned over the weekend. Nick (Alvis 4.3 Razor Edge)
