About this car

The Alvis 12/50 was one of the most successful British light sports cars of the late 1920s and early 1930s, and this 1932 TJ is a two-seater with a dickey seat in the tail. It suits the VSCC circuit well, and the 12/50 Register offers a good supply of spares and technical support.

The car is described as driving well and performing capably. It has new weather equipment and good paint and chrome. The body is generally sound, though some paint has flaked, and the area at the rear of the front wings where they meet the running boards will need work.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Engine details are from Alvis's commonly documented specifications for the 12/50 TJ: a 1645cc four-cylinder overhead-valve engine. I couldn't confirm factory-published 1932 power, weight or performance figures, so those are left null.).
