john.r.davies Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 Indeed - had to be that or a Ferrari. Your pic has me foxed! I'm sure that radiator grille is a clue, but I can't place it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hamish Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I think it ended up on display in various places. Which is a pityhttps://alvisarchive.com/2014/11/01/alvis-in-museums/ Alvis 4.3 single seater special build by commander clinkard in the 1950’s originally supercharged. But it needed the supercharger to be competitive. The body will be worth as much as the car now I guess if it’s original ERA e type. 6 into 1 exhaust with no silencer was a lovely sound. this was dad at I think Silverstone we need someone else to post another now.
