Alvis wants to re-introduce a famous 1930’s model using the original technical drawings, combined with the latest CAD/CAM technology (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing). The company will revive the Alvis 4.3 Litre model, 71 years after this was produced.
“The 4.3 Litre Alvis was the fastest non-supercharged production car of its day, and the continuation series will live up to that heritage. Manufactured from the original drawings, the 4.3 Litre Alvis in-line six cylinder engine will be faithful to the 1936 design, in maintaining all its period character and quality, yet by utilising modern technology it will be emission compliant. Moreover, by using modern materials, fuel injection and engine management, this powerplant will deliver even more horsepower,” stated the press release.
A number of 77 chassis that were officially sanctioned ofr production were never transformed into cars, due to the fact that production had to be suspended in 1940. The newly formed Alvis Car Company will announce details of a continuation series of these vehicles and will also display a new 4.3 Litre chassis and engine at its Goodwood stand.
“This is part of our overall business plan,” said Alan Stote, Red Triangle and Alvis Car Company proprietor: “to maintain service to existing Alvis owners but also to reintroduce selected authentic Alvis models in line with the vision of the Alvis Board all those years ago. Visitors to Goodwood will be able to see the first stages of that plan.”
