25. Tickford
A damaged Tickford – possibly dropped whilst being unloaded from a ship. Was she rescued or written off?
Notes from Wayne Brooks:-
I received this copy of a period photo of a badly crashed, probably written off, TA14 drophead, silver with maroon wings, and landau irons, probably in the Chicago, area from Bill Potter (son of Earl Edward D. Potter 2822 US). On the back is written “indla derm 12800 Stony Island” (Probably 12800 Stony Island Avenue, Chicago, IL, in the Illinois International Port District) The Tickford appears to be perched on a pallet. I wonder if the poor thing was dropped while unloading it from a ship? Earl Potter imported over 200, mostly English, collector cars, including at least five pre-war Alvis, via the Port of Chicago. So he would have spent some time in that area. According to the records held by Bill Potter, Earl did not import any TA14s???

Alvis Fourteen 
No 18 is a standard Carbodies dhc with a permanent ‘hard-top’. Similar to 22290/KKR509
Number 8 may be a Mulliner, but is not a standard Mulliner saloon, the back of the body is a completely different shape, also the doors are not fitted with draft excluders at the top of the windows
No 4 is a fibreglass replica of a Duncan drophead, built by Les Siddall
Number 19 appears quite frequently on the web, usually wearing a plate for an ADAC Saarland Classic rally. It bears a considerable resemblance, but is not identical, to another special which is quoted to have been built by Comptons of Welshpool.
Many thanks for this useful information, have tried to find more on Google but to no avail so making enquiries with German Alvis contact.
good morning,
regarding number 19 i know the owner and the chassis number. We have exposed our cars on some meetings together. Did you got infos on the german Alvis contact ? If not i’ll ask my friend if it’ ok the send the info.
by the way, i own a 14dhc by carbodies # 22736, first plated FOW203, now plated AC-995 CB in Departement Moselle, France
best regards
Jacques
Thank you so much for really good information. Could you ask for the information to be sent to me at eileen4ta.tb14s@rocketmail for privacy. Will write to you in a week about your car as we are away in Campervan and very poor internet.
