Summary

[edit]
Description

Alvis Car and Engineering Company Ltd built cars from 1919-67. One of Alvis' early engines was a four-cylinder with aluminium pistons and pressure lubrication, which was unusual for that time. The first car model using this engine was the Alvis 10/30. It was an instant success and established the reputation for quality workmanship and superior performance for which the company was to become famous. That original 10/30 side-valve engine was improved, becoming by 1923 the overhead valve Alvis 12/50, a highly successful sports car that was produced until 1932. Around 700 of the 12/50 models and 120 of the later Alvis 12/60 models survive today
