Long live Alvis, It’s great to see a car company make a comeback. I’d buy one of those beautiful handmade cars for sure if I won the lottery, till then I can only dream.
You, and a million other's. The most difficult decision, would be , which model and colour scheme; but, as it's only a dream---have two.
I love that the UK has all these smaller old car brands and brand that attempt to bring back the old brands/designs like David Brown, Caterham, Atalanta, Lister, Nobel, Bowler, Ginetta, TVR, Morgan, Etc.... The car culture there is so much more rich than here in the US.
Another revived British manufacturer is Bristol. Bristol has just been taken over by an Englishman who is a Bristol enthusiast and property developer. They are relaunching 2 re-engineering models next year, 2020.
To be totally honest without been bias in any way the coach build of a high quality English car cannot be bettered in any country on earth sadly quality this good cost money n its out of reach for most of us, mechanically may not be the most modern but with coach build quality this good who cares anyway, when you close the door n it closes to perfection after years of use this Is real quality we all love n admire
One of most beautiful cars I have ever seen. Definitely a dream car.
I like the graceful styling of '30's cars but with upgrades to reliability, safety, handling and emissions. Looks like Alvis has addressed those concerns. Well done.
underrated car , really bespoke in 2017
proper craftsman ' truly british , without being corrupted ' carry on chaps
British engineering has/is and always will be the best.
Really great cars! would love to own one of these beauties;)
I am looking forward to following the developing history of Alvis.
Beyond my finances unfortunately, BUT it is heartwarming to see the TLC of the craftsmen and their dedication to old fashioned values of quality.
beautiful..........i know where im going if i ever win the lottery
Me too, I'll race ya--in my Morris 8
Fabulous! I grew up with Alvis cars in 50´s and 60´s. Reg.nr. KLY 47 maroon followed by one similar to model TD21 hardtop in dark green. Would´nt I love a spin in one again.
How fabulous of Alvis to complete the run of 4.3 litre cars but with more reliability etc I can't afford one but I am a fan of Alvis none the less Great
What a lovely job to have, making all those cars brand new again. The company never went out of business.
Fabulous story!
I believe Alvis still has a lot of the original records still in their possession and wondered about my fathers 1934 speed twenty. It was a two door, two seat tourer with twin spares in grey.
Watching this again god what I would give .
amazing
It´s not cars but amazing watches!
Very distinctive car. If only I were a millionaire.
Nice!!
Class🏴
Does this mean I could buy a NEW TD21?
I think that depends on the success of the 4.3 .
I have rarely heard of Alvis,so my surprise is incredible! Do you offer left hand drive? (I am not at the end of the video!)
just hand over da money.
I love your version of the Maxi car too, such talent. Joke 👍
The Austin Maxi wasnt a joke, in fact, it was an advanced car design that didn't recieved the appreciation that it deserved.
@@johnbrereton5229 advanced car design? Then why does it look like a breathed over 1800 landcrab? Thus is why the British car industry failed. Your going to tell me that the marina was an advanced car too eh. 😂
@@ljhm6816
All Austin car designs maintained the recognisable Austin shape of the time, carried over from the very successful Austin 1100 and 1300s range. In fact all manufacturers do the same.
The Marina was a Morris car and therefore followed the Morris company ethos and was a more conventional design.
The Maxi also had to use the same doors as the 1800 range, which added to its similarity in looks. But underneath that skin was a very advanced design, in fact Issigonis last design. Which carried on his original much praised and copied mini car concept, but much larger. Though Austin's Maxi, in essence a much improved larger version of the mini, is nowhere as large as the new German 'mini's'.
👍❤️
There was nothing unreliable about the original cars.
What is unreliable is the ability of mechanics to maintain the vehicles.
Same as it is for all other vehicles
Does this mean one could buy a brand new TD21?
Do you restore old alvis cars ?
Yes they do
@@markbenjamin1703 My brother had a very rare Alvis TB21 two seater Roadster,( only 9 made) which he partially restored, sadly, he died before he could complete it.
Check out “the Red triangle” they bought all the spares and after the bankruptcy and restore cars, I believe these are cars are build from old new stock from these spares.
@@bokhans' Red Triangle,' turned down an offer to buy my Brother's partially restored TB21 Roadster, and his spares.
What I would give?!
❤ I wish I was rich...
Why no t just get a Morgan instead of a pastiche?
All fun and games until some scroate with SR22 insurance runs a red light and dents the fender and your insurance company totals your $300k plus toy. That is provided your insurance company even underwrites it.
Insurance ? they'll do anything for money, ALTHOUGH, if your 18?--????
A Ferrari, Panterra, Lamborghini I would call super cars, but not this. Its nice and if I had one I would get chrome letter and put under Alvis, then I'd be driving an Alvis Presley.
why would you do that?........it would be TACKY and NOT classy
@@geoffdundee well, first of they'd priced to high. Secondly, even I won a letter, I'd pass on this car.
Thirdly, I find humour in Alvis PRESLEY, Frank SONATA, Abe LINCOLN etc
Lastly, I'd buy a 1973 Buick Electra 225 before the Alvis.
@@emelen123jamesula2 ......oh dear!!..........i guess they have priced it too high for a reason LOL
@@geoffdundee like him ?---her?
@@MrDaiseymay ??
Its not the same
It’s better
Thought this company died about 70-80 years ago
Really? The Brits never built anything noteworthy in the 1920s on. So now we're again exposed to Lucas prince of darkness, trunions, grease cups, assorted unworkable brakes and electrics? I'm still trying to forget my Austin America with the four speed automatic which shared oil from the engine and the positive ground electrics.
Didn't get over your wife leaving you eh? oh dear, how sad, never mind, it's a wicked world.
@@MrDaiseymay
Typical Brit, response. Avoid defending the indefensible, resort to pubescent personal insults uttered through typical rotting Brit. teeth. See? I can stoop to your level when appropriate.
Morris Minor? E Type Jag? Mini Cooper? DB5? Ford Capri? There are a whole load of post 20’s great British cars.
I think this video makes no sense for the majority of the millennials.
I don't think they expect to rival Ford Sales.
Although I'm a millennial,I'm a fan of vintage cars
