Loved it. Thanks. John (Australia)
Beautiful car that demonstrates how advanced the engineering of the Alvis had become as early as 1934.
Yes, the world's first all synchro gearbox! They were ahead of their time. Thanks for your comment
@@Classicandsportscar1 I have a 1933 Austin 7 with just the 2 synchros (only just) that cant be hurried!
@@bouncingbobby Lovely little cars. We've just got another 7 Box saloon. Such fun! The whole car can't be hurried!
Now that is a very nice video, gives a great impression of the car. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
It’s like a Derby Bentley!
It certainly has that same 'quality built' feel about it. Both were cars of distinction. Thanks for your comment
Agree - the sports saloon designs you see on 4.25L Derby Bentleys from Park Ward and Vanden Plas around this time are quite similar lines but with a larger rump for more of ones luggage! I guess the difference with Derby Bentleys is the sports saloon designs were the more common ones, and you see even more exotic coachwork from HJ Mulliner, Barker and Gurney Nutting. There were some stunning cars from this era and I think this Alvis is just gorgeous - and you see those same lines in the Mk4 Jag arriving post war too.
My Bentley is by Arnold of Manchester, which is quite unique
@@LWVH81 Not a coachbuilder I'm familiar with - you live and learn! I'll have a look on your channel.......
@@YorkshireMidge Manchester. Who would have thought? 😀
My type of car
Looking at your channel, I can see you love the more interesting motors. I enjoyed watching your video on the Austin Healey - your passion shows through. Great job.
No video of the engine compartment?🤔
Correct. This was our first video with the new camera guy... it's something we have since updated in our later videos. You can find photos of the engine on our website. Hope you enjoyed the video all the same
My SC is on coil to "Start" and then mag to "Run". Interesting that yours is the opposite! One of us is wired up wrongly....
My SB is as on the video car. Does not solve the question though. Great cars to drive.
108 m.p.h very expensive tourer is the best vanden plus 3 s.u carburetor
Was the Alvis much better than the Jaguar SS90 ?
I'd say the Alvis drivetrain was better engineered - though both have their merits. The Jaguar had a Standard sidevalve six cylinder engine, before the days when Jaguar designed and built their own engines.
This review could have used a lot more seeing around the car interior, trunk etc. Too much watching the author just driving with a single static camera
We'll keep improving.
