OK barn finders, here’s the gig you’ve been waiting for, the lollapalooza of all things Alvis, a collection of twenty different cars, and one or all can be yours! They’re located in Ellesmere, Shropshire, UK and are available, here on Car & Classic for as little as £2,500 (about $3,250). A tip of the bumbershoot to Till J for this most unusual discovery!

Alvis (or is it Alvie for plural?) have graced Barn Finds webpages before, but not too often. Alvis had a 48-year run, closing its door to car manufacturing in 1967. Alvis continued on as a defense contractor and functions today under the guise of BAE. Our cornucopia of TD21s were built between 1958 and 1963 and offered as two-door coupes, along with a few “dropheads”, and managed a total volume of just under 1,100 copies. Interestingly, Alvis is once again making a go at car building with their continuation series and you can read about their endeavor here.

The seller advises, “If you are considering a project, these cars are worth thinking about. Most parts are readily available, mechanically they are quite straightforward. They have a separate chassis and conventional suspension with hydraulic brakes. The bodywork however is rather more challenging. These are coachbuilt cars with structural timber framing and plenty of scope for rot of all types“. Taking the referenced 1961 TD21 as an example, it’s hard to say what it really needs as there is no specific description and the image isn’t telling. Regardless of one’s choice, it would be wise to assume a dog’s breakfast of problems with most examples.

The TD21s were powered by a 115 HP, 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder engine though some of these cars are missing their engines, manual transmissions or both. The seller adds that some of these saloons run but none in this phalanx of Alvis are roadworthy.

The interiors appear to have been well-appointed with typical leather upholstery and wood trim, the refinements one would expect to find in a British smoking parlor. As with the exteriors and powertrains, however, it will be a mixed bag of discovery. There are only two interior shots provided and both appear to be redeemable.

So, if the Alvis TD21 is not familiar to you, here’s a post from a year and a half ago covering a 1963 TD21 that,  fortunately, didn’t get the storage treatment that has befallen these twenty. Of course, some storage is better than none, right? Why would someone collect twenty of these not so well known cars? It’s hard to say, different things float different people’s boats and what fires up one individual will fall flat with another. It sounds as if these TD21s will be sold individually so it may be possible to acquire one that is more intact and then another one or two for parts. Or you could trip the light fantastic, pitch a single offer that can’t be refused, and just take the whole enchilada right?
