With coachwork in Aluminium by A P Metalcraft, body #1071 was despatched from the Alvis factory on 10/10/1950 as a left-hand drive model, one of only 100

It was supplied new in left-hand drive finished in British Racing Green, but with the headlights adjusted to UK requirements

Little is known of its early history until discovered partly dismantled in a Manchester warehouse, painted red and rescued by Colin Newby in the 1990s

He subsequently restored the car, fitted a new interior etc. and there are many bills on file for works, parts etc. along with a photo record

It was later sold to Andrew Morton in November 1995 for £11,650

Purchased by our vendor's late father in December 1999 and placed in their private museum Collection with hardly any use. Last actively used on a rally to Holland in 2015

Recommissioning will be required before active use

It's supplied with an excellent article featuring the car from Classic and Sports Car 1995, a photographic record of the bare metal restoration, the Continuation 'buff' logbook, its original radio and a fitted cover
