Alvis 4.3 Litre Continuation

[Chafford]

Interesting to see Alvis has started building a run of 'continuation' 4.3 litres.

   Made me start thinking about a new run of AC Heritage 16/70s []

Simply beautiful cars and and a great concept, also very interesting too as I think it could perhaps become a new and emerging nostalgia niche market in the future. I also like honouring the idea of fulfilling the remaining 77 cars too creating rarity and originality parallels with Derek Hurlock and perhaps just 80 more 428s.
   
   But I'd hate to see too many....

If you've got any spare dosh laying around this 'new' Alvis will set you back £200,000.
   
   Below, this real short-chassis Vanden Plas tourer (not rebodied from a saloon like many Alvis 'open' PVT's) and one of the twelve built, went to auction three years back with an estimate of £125,000....though it fetched, interestingly, £200,000.

£200,000 is a lot of money, but looks reasonable for a bespoke car that takes 18 months to build.
   
   A further run of AC 428s sounds good but I think it would cut across AC's marketing strategy for the 428's modern equivalent, the 378GT Zagato.

Just the opposite I would have thought as each could well support the marketing of the other plus being one up on Alvis [8D]
