Vehicle Description
You are looking at a 1948 Alvis TA14 Tickford DHC that is one of only 72 built. Only 26 of these are known to survive today, making this a very rare car. This particular Alvis has recently been fully restored to very nice show standards. It runs and drives fantastic and is surprisingly powerful for a 4-cylinder engine. It\'s well suited for today\'s driving and is relatively easy to drive. The paint and body is all very nice, showing no rust or evidence of accident damage. The interior looks great and is all new, including carpets and panels. The wood has been refinished and looks quite good. This is a great car to drive around town or take to a car show with the confidence you\'ll have the only one there. This car gets tons of attention. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you have.
