Australian based Alvis Cars on the tour will potentially range from as early as 1923 through to 1967, when the last Alvis was made. The car in the background of the above photo, a 1923 12/40 tourer, may well be the oldest. In the foreground is a 1929 Silver Eagle. Both cars participated in the 2007 Alvis National Rally in South Australia
Alvis cars were produced by Alvis Car and Engineering Company Ltd. of Coventry, United Kingdom, from 1919 to 1967. The company also produced aero-engines and military vehicles, the latter continuing long after car production ceased.
There are five surviving 1920 - 1922 Alvis, and we shall see if any appear on the JNBC Alvis Tour of Victoria, Australia, October 7-26.
