As a retired anaesthetist, Adrian had also been fascinated by Smith-Clarke’s work in medicine and other scientific fields and researched our extensive archives files for material, much of it donated by the Smith-Clarke family.
The Alvis link extends further with 3-litre owner Dr. Geoffrey Spencer who wrote about his experiences in the May 1999 AOC Bulletin, another Julian Collins masterpiece, reproduced here:
Adrian has kindly donated copies of his book to the Trust and is now available to members for the cost of postage and packing.
He was asked to provide a replica iron lung for a recent episode of the BBC period drama “Call the Midwife”.
The ex-Spencer TC21/100 is alive and well and appears at the Tealby Noggin and Natter with other Alvis and British marques.

The Annual General Meeting of the Alvis Archive Trust will be held remotely by Zoom this year to enable more members to attend. The date is May 15th 2025, start time 6pm. Members will receive joining details and documentation shortly.
