Long term Alvis owners will remember the name Ron Buck from the past.
Ron’s Carbodies TA 14 Chassis 22548 ARB 14 at the time, was always immaculately turned as was his wife Hazel. The car almost invariably ran with the hood up, reputedly so that Hazel’s impeccable hairdo stayed in place.
The car is now in the hands of an Alvis enthusiast in East Sussex and sadly due to personal reasons it is time for her to move on. Full details will shortly be available on the AOC website alvisoc.org and she is certainly a car to consider seriously. Current number plate is back to PRF 865.
A TB 14 is currently available on carandclassic.co.uk for £29 950 or offers. Finished in the popular Red with ivory trim it merits a look for anyone in the market for this iconic model. Chassis 23515, MZ 9788 is based in the London area and ready to roll.
Further afield in the Yukon Territory Canada is another is another TB 14 looking for a new home. Go to bringatrailer.com/listing/ 1950-alvis-tb-14-3/?
Auction finishes tomorrow, current best bid 5 500 Canadian dollars!
One of the rarer Tickford Fourteens is currently up with carandclassic.co.ukand looks to be a sound car worth investigating further. Asking price is £23 000 and the car ready to move on. Chassis 21723, JYP 372. Should the numberplate seem familiar there were JYP 371, 372, 373, 376, 377, 378, 379 and 380 registrations all taken by TA 14s.
Red Triangle are currently selling a nice looking Mulliners Saloon in black/ivory, price is POA.
A rather sad looking Carbodies Dhc. Is still available for sale in the Netherlands and also shown on carandclassic. co.uk. The price is still 16 950 euros for this restoration project. Chassis 21913, 508 NUU.
eBay has a nice looking Maroon Mulliners Saloon up for £7750, JOK 606, chassis 22947. Having spent time in long term storage she looks like a good car to consider for tidying up and running. Numberplate has value but would be a shame to split from the car.
Yet another Mulliners available on eBay, this time for sale by Auction that finishes in 2 days. Current highest bid is £1417. GYD 457, chassis no.not known. Could be a bargain. DVLA gives the colour as bronze not blue.
At the bottom end of the TA 14 price range is a sad looking Mulliners saloon also on eBay. Could be a car that is bought for spares although with the purchase of some body parts could be a restoration project or perhaps the basis of a Special. No chassis number currently known.
Finally a wonderful 1990 Ford Granada Scorpio is emerging from long term storage and is up for Auction on eBay. My car since new, all details on eBay.
Happy Motoring.
