1931 Alvis 12/50 TJ DHC - SOLD

SOLD

FS1481 is a 1931 Alvis 12/ 50 Doctors Coupe. Again she has outlasted her previous owner Richard Entwistle, who sadly passed on around 3 years ago. The family had hoped to keep FS1481, however after some soul searching the only fair option for FS1481 is to find a new loving and active custodian just like her previous longer-term owners. The custodian prior to Richard had enjoyed her for 35 years!

SOLD

Crossley of Manchester produced approximately 1150 of their 19. 6 model available with seven different body styles. This, the Sports model was only marketed for 2 years, so quite rare in the day. I understand only two such examples survive in the UK, this being imported back from Australia in the late 1990’s being owned by Mr Jenner of Norfolk in 1998 but possibly not on the road at this point.

That man was the late Lt. Cdr Robin Everall (1945-2013), a decorated retired Naval Helicopter pilot. When it comes to quality workmanship, nothing comes close ...

SOLD

Contemporary history starts 21st April 2008 Bonham’s auctions sales catalogue where they state that CS1212 had been stored for 40 years prior to the auction. The photos in that sales catalogue certainly show the need for some serious work. The hammer price plus buyer’s ...
