Alvis SA 13-2 Firebird special, year 1935. Chassis (VIN) number 12461, engine number 12755. Colour matte grey combined with black wire wheels and red leather bucket seats. This Alvis special was built on an Alvis SA 13-2 chassis and given a special racing body in the last decade. The car was road registered in the Netherlands in 2019. The car breathes “vintage” all over and it looks like an eighty-year-old survivor! The “pre-war” driving experience is very special and rewarding! The automobile features the original 1850 cc four cylinder in-line engine combined with the original Alvis fully synchronised 4-speed gearbox. The beautiful ‘mottled’ aluminium dashboard features an array of original instruments. This Alvis features a ‘fish-tail’ exhaust end piece, leather belts over the bonnet and the wire wheels are shod with Firestone 4.75/5.00 20-inch tyres. This Alvis special will bring a lot of vintage driving fun to an enthusiast owner!

Alvis history
Alvis was founded by Thomas George John and G.P. de Freville. The first cars built under the Alvis name were manufactured in 1920, and the last Alvis (sports) cars came out of the factory in Coventry 47 years later. The ending of the brand name Alvis was sealed when it was incorporated into the British Leyland concern, where it became part of Rover.
The Alvis cars were of great quality and workmanship and were very fast as well. As for their cars, many parts were designed and manufactured by Alvis’ own staff, and production was small-scaled and exclusive. In the 1920s, Alvis was the first British car model to experiment with four-wheel drive. In fact, in 1925, they even manufactured sports and racing cars equipped with front-wheel drive, which had also been fitted with an overhead camshaft.
