Northern Alvis Day

Saturday 18th July enjoyed a respite from the heatwave earlier in the week and attracted a fine selection of cars from 1932 to 1966. The venue was the Chasney family’s Goose Beck Vineyard near York so as well as the traditional Concours and Driving Tests, there were Vineyard tours and tastings for the participants.

Chris Taylor’s Speed 20 restoration of AYF 93 hit a snag with the engine arguing with itself. He is in need of a replacement cylinder head and perhaps block for the 2511 cc engine. If you have a spare you are willing to part with please call Chris 07890 414130.

We have a large collection of videos and films of Alvis cars and events. We would like to appoint a film archivist who can convert the various media into an accessible format for the website and posterity. If you have the skills and interest in Alvis to take this on we would love to hear from you.

  1. What an absolute joy to have some captions! The AOC seem to have abandoned the use of images as a historical source for future generations.
