Alvis

Van Dusen Gardens

comments on the previous image of a hood ornament revealed that many friends had not heard of or seen an Alvis...no wonder as they are hardly common...this is a wider, if slightly messy, shot of the car...the vehicle is English, and no longer in production...the particular model is from the 1930s, and as I recall was named an Alvis Firefly

Nikon D90
Nikkor 16-85mm - 1/640s f/13.0 at 16.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

It has so much character unlike today's eggshells. V

Thanks for posting the whole car. I believe they haven't been made since the 60s. I haven't seen one at any of the car shows (and there are a lot of them) that I've attended in the southern U.S.

Snazzy! And as that is my favourite colour, I think I'm in love with this car! V

A sporty car for those who could afford them back then. I think the view shows well.

Very striking wide angle view of this sharp looking car.

Looks to be in nice shape. I like it in blue. These were great cars.
