1934 ALVIS SPEED 20 SB

(In Need of Restoration)

The Alvis Speed 20 is a British touring car that was made between late 1931 and 1936 by Alvis Car and Engineering Company in Coventry. It went through four variants coded SA to SD. The SB launched at the October 1933 London Motor Show had a new cruciform braced chassis, slightly longer at 124 inches, with independent front suspension using a single transverse leaf spring with a long solid anchorage in the centre. Steering was improved using new designs employed for racing Alvis cars since 1925. Road shocks were not transmitted from one wheel to the other nor did they affect the steering wheel and the gyroscopic effect was eliminated. Rear springs damped by Hartford Telecontrol dampers are long and underslung. The engine remained the same but the new all-silent gearbox, the first of its type, gained synchromesh on bottom gear and was mounted separately from the engine. A built-in jacking system was fitted as standard.As with the SA, a wide range of bodies were fitted to the cars. Large Lucas 12 in P100 headlamps became standard, adding to the sporting appearance of the car.

This Barn Find 1934 Alvis speed 20 left the factory with a tourer body made by Cross and Ellis. The front end bulkhead, boot floor, rear arches, and front screen are still remaining of the tourer body. The engine, gearbox, prop shaft and differential are all complete as per the photos.

The car also comes with a complete speed 20 saloon body, comprising of the rear end, boot lid, 4 complete doors, B pillars, sills, bulkhead and windscreen.

The previous owner now resides in Chile, South America. There is a full receipt for the car, and it is still on the DVLA system with the logbook applied for.
