Hi, whilst on with my misses mini 30, I have got my self a British classic, an Alvis TF21! Cant do much work on her till the mini is finished but here is a link to my friends post on another forum whilst he helped me get her a little more road worthy and respectable for a trip away in the lakes on our first year wedding anniversary.
Cheers

I've always liked those old Alvis's. Here's one I spotted at the North West Mini Show in 2010

Cheers Guys, yes that is Alans TE21, they have twin su's where as the TF has tripple &150bhp, also the TF has power steering and disk al round although Alan has updated his with steering and brakes. Only 105 TFs made! quite fancy his wheels though!

A guy who lived at the end of my road had a TE21 in the mid-80s. It was full of rust but he loved it and it was a work in progress. Never knew if he completed it though and I have no photos. Shame. I'll be watching this one :thumbsup:

I like the look of the Frenched head lights. Its a nice looking motor though. A proper English cruiser.
