Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
Handbuilt British excellence offering refined luxury and effortless open touring.
Constructed alongside Bentleys at the prestigious Park Ward coachworks, a subsidiary of Rolls-Royce, the Alvis TD 21 was widely regarded as one of the best-built vehicles of its time. Renowned for their independent engineering talent and history in aviation engine manufacturing, Alvis applied that technical expertise to create some of the smoothest powerplants ever produced. When it debuted in 1958, the TD 21 featured a refined 2993 cc engine mated to an Austin Healey four-speed gearbox, along with modern advancements such as a hydraulic clutch, piston shock absorbers, and front disc brakes.
Offered with two body shells, fewer than 200 TD 21 drop-head coupes were manufactured during their production run. This rarity makes it one of the most exclusive British open-top four-seater roadsters currently available for auction. Reflecting the superior build quality and the elite clientele associated with the Alvis brand, it is a testament to their longevity that two-thirds of all TD 21 models produced are still in existence today.
With sufficient power to reach speeds of 100 mph while maintaining lavish comfort amongst high-quality furnishings, the Alvis TD 21 provides a genuine experience of British reserve, exclusivity, and panache. It represents an exceptional opportunity to own a vehicle of this calibre for a mere fraction of the cost of a comparable Bentley or Rolls-Royce.
This beautifully restored 1960 Series 1 Drophead is finished in elegant 'Alice Blue' with a matching blue leather interior, further complemented by rich walnut burr trim. With only four recorded owners, the car is accompanied by comprehensive documentation of its restoration. Currently held within a collection of sports cars, it is offered with its V5 and its original cherished number plate. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest hand-built cars ever produced in the UK.

I have same question, is there outstanding finance? Thank you
Hello, we did put a note in the history section about it. Basically when you do a look up with HPi on a short VIN, i.e. 26316 then erroneous data can be returned around finance. It’s a usual thing for outstanding finance to come back. We then write to HPi to confirm it doesn’t. The owner has confirmed no finance is outstanding on the car. Thanks Adam – TC
Hi,I’m a little confused regarding the vehicle check sheet,it appears to show an outstanding finance agreement,does this relate to 7 AXK ?.

Just checking the physical engine and chassis numbers exactly match the V5? Super important to me this as I would be exporting her.
Hello Frank, apologies for the delay in answering – it’s got missed along the lines. But yes, Roger the seller has confirmed they match exactly. Cheers Adam TC
