This first appeared as an accompaniment to an article in The Autocar, of 26th February 1954 entitled 'Innocents ouer the Border '. The author, "E. E. ", relates his experiences during a round trip from Surrey to the Western Highlands in the family TA14. Dave Culsh aw writes: 1 managed to speak to Gordon Honter last year about his TA14 drawings, and sadly il would appear that the original does nol suruiue, nor could Gordon remember details of the Aluis. Howeuer, there will neuer be a better time to reuiue this largely-forgotten picture, acknowledging ils distill guished artist, in the year of ils subject 'Cinquantaine " AROUND THE CLUB V Tony Phillips-Smith has produced another of his fine drawings (above) . this time for the cover of the programme for International Alvis Day. V The record of the Scottish Motor Show TA16.95 of 1929 has just come to hand. The Cross and Ellis Alvista is noted as hnving "red Durex upholstery". Must have caused quite a stir. V The Registrar's fenture in the Bulletin of May 1994 on the connections of Alvis with the A.C. company contained an appeal for information about the two estate cars built for Fairey Aviation. A new member, Bill Hubbard of Newcastle, Staffordshire, has brought one one of these cars to light a nd is to report on ils restoration.
