Went out in the 1937 Alvis Special (video)

Good day yesterday as I actually got the Alvis out onto the roads of Cheshire. Whilst it was a TR Register pub meeting they were all very complimentary about the old interloper ( and the car 🤣)

As some of you know this used to be my dads car that I have recently bought back

I stuck the go pro on despite the chilly misty weather, and ……..there was card reading error on the way out, but worked on the way back.

i may have to sort out another remote mic as the sound isn’t interesting but I guess better than some random YouTube permitted music.

but you get a feel for it I think.

it runs cool when moving - especially on a chilly day but the temps soon rise when in traffic or idling it is a 4.3 straight 6 after all ! but the fan and thermostats do their job.

the steering is very good despite the great number of links from the steering arm.


 
What a car! This past weekend, I attended a small car show that had a 1922 Dusenberg. The car was huge compared to our LBCs! 33 inch wire wheels!
 
Compared to some Sprite 13 inch wheels, you bet! There was an Austin America that probably had 10 inch wheels, but I’m not sure.
