- Hi and welcome back to the channel, here is a 1966 Alvis TF 21 in for a bare metal repaint and remedial work where this video takes you through the removal of all the brightwork and fittings and the removal of all the paint and filler that has built up over the years.
It was originally a Dark Green example of a TF21 when it left the factory in 1966, the client has some history of the car which confirms a colour change of Blue to BMW Calypso Red which is it current wears in the mid 90's but no history of the colour change of Dark Green to Blue ?
So let's see what we find to add to the history of this car...
I will create a playlist for this Alvis so the next video up on this car will cover the metalwork stage..

It's amazing how a beautiful paint job can mask such a multitude of "sins".
Cars such as these deserve such painstaking restorations.
Well done.
I live in the USA. Been restoring British cars for 45 years. I would love to find a nice TF or TE21 saloon in LHD. Been looking for many years. Very few here to start with. This car here is a big job ahead. It looked simple in rapid frame video, but so much work has been performed. Can't wait to see her back to full loveliness.
Thank you for your support Doug,
They are a lovely car, later this month there will be/ should be a video covering a fair amount of the metal work we are currently doing.
All the best Chris
We had a mint 1935 speed 20 vanden plus tourer a black one in new Zealand in the 1960s it was bloody brilliant and fast 1o8 m.p.h
Wow, your team made that paint stripping look easy. That is why I never buy a car with a shiny paint job if there is no proof of what it looked like before being painted.
😊
Good job 👍
Thank you 😊
Really fantastic work, I enjoy watching your content, what paint stripper did you use?
Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Tim
Thank you 😊
Starchem Synstrip is the paint stripper we use.
All the best Chris
Can someone just give me a rough price, what's the cheapest I can buy or restore one of these cars?
Search EBay or a Google listing for ones for sale, they don’t come up that often to be fair, the costs of restoring one are very much like asking how long is a piece of string ?
It all depends on what the car needs to make it right and what the client is prepared to pay for.
The cheapest way to restore one is to restore it yourself.
Hope this helps ?
Many thanks Chris
Why do you use paint stripper on some parts and not others?
Depends on what we are trying to remove in all honesty, paint stripper barely does anything to body filler so if we know there’s plenty of it in a panel we will sand it instead.
Best Chris
