Finished in green with black leather seats and a teal carpet, this open four-seater is a pre-war British sports tourer with long flowing wings, wire wheels and a rear-mounted spare wheel. Alvis was founded in Coventry in 1919 and became known for well-engineered, high-quality cars in the 1920s and 1930s, from the front-wheel-drive racing cars of the 1920s to the refined four- and six-cylinder tourers of the late 1930s. By the end of the decade the company offered a broad range of sporting and touring models with strong chassis, good handling and a strong reputation among enthusiasts. The seller describes this example as an Open Sport four-seater with a Mulliner coachbuilt body, a combination of rigid mechanics and tailored coachwork typical of the best British pre-war open cars, and notes that the right-hand-drive layout is original to the car. This example has a green body with chrome headlamps, wing-mounted sidelamps, a mesh-style radiator grille with the Alvis badge and a bird mascot on the radiator cap. A folding windscreen and a black hood are fitted. Inside, the seats are in black leather, the dashboard is made of polished wood with a large speedometer and a combined instrument panel with the Alvis badge, and the floor is carpeted in teal. The rear seat is a bench with a padded backrest. The engine bay shows a polished aluminium-topped four-cylinder with gold-painted block, and a lubrication plate and chassis plate are photographed.
