Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

Alvis was a very important, influential and much-missed manufacturer of some exceptional cars.

The Coventry firm always maintained a reputation for quality and a unique market niche: more dashing than any Armstrong-Siddeley or Rover; less expensive and opulent than a Bentley or a Bristol; less aggressively sporting than a Jaguar.

But always a thoroughbred - no borrowed engines or badge engineering with other marques.

Always built and finished to the highest standards, the cars were also mechanically advanced, with an all-synchromesh gearbox and overhead valve engines.

This particular example has been extensively restored to a very high standard over the last decade or so, and is really very hard to fault in any meaningful way.

It presents exceptionally well from every angle and has clearly been maintained, cared-for and cherished with enthusiasm, commitment and expertise in equal and abundant measure.

The car starts, goes, runs and stops and you would hope and expect, and once you’ve got your head around some of its 1937 starting procedures and protocols, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the relative modernity of the driving experience.

In short, it’s as wonderfully well-preserved and conditioned as it is vanishingly rare and undeniably elegant.
