The first production Alvis styled by Swiss coachbuilder Graber appeared at the Paris Motor Show in October 1955. Based on the existing TC21 Grey Lady chassis, the newcomer brought a much-needed injection of Continental style and modernity to the Coventry manufacturer's range. Lighter, stiffer and with a much smaller frontal area than the traditionally styled Grey Lady, the Graber Alvis enjoyed much improved handling and a maximum speed in excess of 100mph. The first Graber-styled model, the TC108G, was built by coachbuilders Willowbrook before production switched to Park Ward on the introduction of the restyled TD21 for 1959. The TD21 retained Alvis's torquey, 3. 0-litre, overhead-valve six, which now produced 120bhp courtesy of a redesigned cylinder head. Inside, there were improvements to the accommodation, with increased headroom and legroom, especially in the rear. Lockheed servo-assisted disc brakes were optional, becoming standardised for 1960. Its previous custodian, an Alvis Club member, owned this TD21 for over 30 years and restored the car, including rebuilding all the mechanicals, in the early 2000s. The vendor purchased the Alvis in the spring of 2020. Recent works include installing a new wiring loom and replacing the braking system. Running and driving well, although cosmetically improveable, this gentlemanly Alvis TD21 is a car for the connoisseur. Offered with a V5C document.
