Alvis TD21 S2 Graber Evocation

This is a one-off. It began as a Leeds-registered Alvis TD21 saloon in need of total restoration, and was rebuilt as a short-chassis roadster in the manner of the special bodies Swiss coachbuilder Hermann Graber produced on Alvis chassis. The dealer calls it a "Graber Evocation", and it is not a factory or Graber-built car. The chassis was strengthened and shortened, and the new body was made by traditional methods, including lead loading.

Underneath, the specification stays period-correct for a TD21 S2. It has the six-cylinder engine, rebuilt with new internals and hardened valve seats, and the ZF S5-17 five-speed gearbox, which was reworked with newly made gears. Discreet upgrades include an aluminium radiator and fuel tank, electronic ignition, an alternator upgrade and rally-quality front wishbones. Dunlop front discs and rear drums are retained.

The page says £120,000 has been spent on the build, and there is a large history file. The hood, seats and Ulster Wilton wool carpets were trimmed by a Rolls-Royce-trained specialist. No mileage or registration is stated.
