Alvis Speed 20 SC Cross & Ellis Tour

Alvis Speed 20 SC Cross & Ellis Tourer 1936 RHD Chassis N°: 12054 Ancient British registration:  CEV 514   I remember that 22 years ago, when I found and bought this elegant Speed 20 in England, I was very proud that I, as a young classic car dealer, could buy and place such a beautiful tourer within my Belgian client èle.   Now after more than 20 years of loyal services to her Belgian owner, being all the time serviced and maintained by my specialist classic car workshop, she is coming back into my hands to advertise her on the classic car market and once again I am very proud to add this elegant Alvis Speed 20 to my stocklist. Even more so, because we just finished a comprehensive and complete mechanical and structural beauty-job on this Alvis. The 2,7 litre 6 cylinder engine just came out of a complete rebuild. The body was completely dismantled, strenghtened where necessary and fully repainted into her original and beautiful color combination of aubergine with black wings. The black leather upholstery is still looking very nice and wears after 20 years of gentle use a very attractive touch of patina.   Alvis connoisseurs know that the Speed 20 SC with the excellent 2,7 litre 6 cylinder engine, coupled to the full sunchromesh 4 speed gearbox and the independent front suspension is one of the best British prewar tourers to drive. Furthermore the elegant lines of this original Cross & Ellis 4 seater/4 door tourer is one of the most attractive designs on this chassis.
