Introduction
Dom Ginn
A beautifully understated British grand tourer, combining hand-built craftsmanship, elegant styling, and smooth performance into one timeless classic.
The Alvis TD21 represents one of the most elegant expressions of Alvis’s post-war Three Litre of one of Britain’s most respected luxury car manufacturers, combining handcrafted elegance with refined grand touring capability. Built during a period when Alvis was renowned for producing exclusive, low-volume motor cars, the TD21 showcased the brand’s dedication to quality, engineering, and understated sophistication.
Introduced in the late 1950s as the successor to the successful Grey Lady models, the TD21 featured sleek coachwork by Park Ward and a refined 3.0-litre straight-six engine that delivered smooth, effortless performance suited perfectly to long-distance touring. Unlike many sports cars of the era, the Alvis focused on comfort and composure, offering a relaxed yet capable driving experience wrapped in timeless British styling.
Produced between the late 1950s and early 1960s, the TD21 sits at the heart of Alvis’s post-war Three Litre story: a refined, low-volume British grand tourer with Park Ward coachwork, a smooth 2,993cc straight-six and the understated quality that makes the marque so appealing today.
This particular 1961 Alvis TD21 Coupé / two-door saloon is a beautifully presented example of one of Britain’s most understated grand tourers. Finished in bronze over tan Connolly leather, with Park Ward coachwork, matching chassis and engine numbers, body-off restoration history, excellent interior woodwork, a discreet Tremec T5 five-speed upgrade and long-term Red Triangle specialist care, it is exactly the sort of elegant, usable and properly documented Alvis that marque buyers look for.
Red Triangle are central to the Alvis marque - the best-known specialist, authorised manufacturer and supplier of genuine Alvis parts, and the natural home for a car like this. This TD21 has been maintained by Red Triangle over many years and, immediately after Tim purchased it in July 2024, it was sent back to them for inspection, service and mechanical refresh. That recent specialist attention, combined with the historic Red Triangle file, is one of the car’s key strengths.
This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Tim the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
