SUMMARY
Forming part of the Darby Collection. Restored by Red Triangle about 25 years ago, however, is now in need of some light recommissioning.
DESCRIPTION
- In 1952, the standard offering was the Alvis TA21 Three-Litre with Drophead Coupé (DHC) versions built, almost exclusively, by Tickford
- Built on a box-section chassis with independent coil-spring front suspension, the car was powered by a 2993cc overhead-valve straight-six producing 83-90bhp
- Registered in 1952, Chassis #24813 has been family owned since 2007, with just four previous keepers. It was fully restored in the early 2000s by Red Triangle, well known for their long-standing expertise with the Alvis marque
- Maintained by a respected Bath-based classic car specialist and regularly attended local car shows
- Having seen limited recent use within the collection, light recommissioning may be required and viewing is highly recommended
- With elegant Tickford coachwork, respected specialist restoration history and clear project potential, this attractive TA21 DHC presents an appealing opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a well-proportioned and historically interesting post-war British Grand Tourer
