Alvis 12/60 1931

Jim ( snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

That's because you don't advertise on a group, generally. They're for discussion, not plugging.

But I'll give you a tenner. How's that sound?

Through the owners club.

What's the difference between the 12/60 and the 12/50 then?

The 12/60 is later than the 12/50. Quite a few modernisations and a more powerful engine.

Thanks for the constructive comments.

"Modernisations" being a relative term, I suspect! I wish I had sufficient money for something like that. My mother used to drive a 12/50 Beetleback in the sixties that she sold for something like

100 quid. We tracked it down through the OC a few years back and learnt that it still exists, but with body and chassis seperated by a few counties. At least I _think_ it was a 12/50. Reg No. was GK something or other.

Hi

Yep, 'modernisations' being a relative term. There were a series of changes to all sorts of things. My father-in-law knew every detail and could date a car from 100 paces by looking at them. He spent thousands on having this car restored from the chassis up. Everything was sorted...and, I presume, still is. I just want to find someone who will appreciate it. I like the look of it and have enjoyed driving it over the years, but I don't 'love' it as he did.

Pity really.

Given that this group is fairly low traffic I'd say the appropriate owner's club or one of the classic car mags?

Jim,

It'll be worth a few thousands. My advice: Get it valued by the Alvis Owners' Club Advertise in a good classic car magazine like "The Automobile" And beware of dealers - there are some right dodgy ones about!

Regards,
