A TD21 Series II drophead, not heard of since it was new, has emerged as one of over 200 cars up for auction in Holland – see https://nos.nl/l/2471189 – it is 26844, 5085 VC at 1:21 in the right corner of the screen.

Very interesting, probably give Valentine a run for the money! I think Alvis are hoping Japan could be a good market for their continuation 4.3 tourers they are building. Weather for next Sunday looking good so far, fingers crossed.
