Alvis Archive 
… and did you see Alvises in the new docudrama on Christine Keeler on BBC1. I don’t know if John Profumo had a TD21 in real life but he is driving one on TV. And the Russian Naval Attche was seen with a Grey Lady (I think) at Cliveden.

Hello Hugh, the records show Profumo as once owning a Speed 20 SB. I’ll check i-Player and see which TD he is driving.
Knowing his son David, I have also been watching the series in between the TV packing up (so I missed the Grey Lady).
But I saw the TD21 Series One.
In real life I believe John Profumo drove a Jaguar S Type (and possibly a Mark II previously). His wife is pictured with an S Type in what looks like the Ascot car park at around that time.
As ever,
Mark.
It looked like a TD MK 2,
Jeremy Drew.
And it was a Grey lady DHC with
The bonnet air scoops..
Well done!
As a TE21 and former TF21 owner that is where my primary interest is.
But anything Alvis is interesting!
Regards,
Mark.
Profumo has obvious taste..!!
I echo Mark – anything Alvis is interesting. Having had three with my late husband (a 1949 TA 14 and a TD21 saloon as well as the gorgeous TD21 Ser.1 Park Ward auto. drophead) I find that I can hold my own with any petrolhead I encounter. (A couple of days ago that was in a car park where I met a newish Aston Martin – I would have preferred to meet a DB5 but we must be grateful for small mercies – and the driver and his mate said how impressed they were to meet a woman who could talk cars. A bit patronising, but hey! – just keep the info. coming! My current steed is a little Mazda, but I’m not sure I’d be safe in charge of three litres of Alvis at my age……….. and my memories are wonderful.
Where /how would I find Steve Horne’s video? Tried search, without success. Thanks! Happy New Year! John LayzellMiami, Florida
It’s on the Speed 20 SA page, just scroll down after the photo of Steve’s VDP.
Looking at BBC iplayer, Jack Profumo is driving a blue Series II TD21, registration number 3969 VT, with a beige interior.
