About this car

The Alvis 12/60 was one of the more sporting British light cars of the late 1920s and early 1930s, and the Beetleback, with its rounded tail, is one of its most recognisable body styles. This 1931 car is said to retain its original Beetleback coachwork by Carbodies.

The page says the car is fitted with an earlier magneto-ignition engine to 12/60 specification. It has been in the same family ownership for many years and is described as largely original.

The dealer reports good brakes, a quiet gearbox, good steering and road manners, and lively performance. No mileage, registration or colour is given.
