I have to confess I love the type of Although I had a few classic cars in sporting cars that were built in the 1920s and between I had the bug to get an older car to 1930s in England and Europe. rally. I searched for months to find a suitable car. I looked at numerous vintage and classic cars and contacted clubs to see what was available in their newsletters until finally I saw another 1951 Alvis TA21advertised in the Alvis Car Club newsletter. It was an unfinished project in Mildura. We decided to visit the town for a few days, not having been there before and inspect the car. The engine and gearbox had been rebuilt in Canberra by an Alvis enthusiast who died. The body had also been restored and painted in silver, it was originally burgundy. The seats and doors were reupholstered in red leather and the woodwork revarnished, new tyres and fresh chrome work. There were still many out- standing jobs to do as I discovered when I had it delivered to our home in Sunbury. It took months to locate a car at the right price. An attractive 1926 Alvis 12/50 came to my notice. It was a fresh restoration with a replica body by Richard Stanley. The 12/50 was a good quality advanced car of the vintage period. The 1500cc ohv engine was easily tuned and was the bases for many specials and racing cars. The Alvis was four seater tourer in superb condition. I had to have it! A few months after the purchase the previous Murchison owner offered me a very original 1951 Alvis TA21 saloon that only had 48,000 miles on the clock. This joined the Part of the deal was a second 1951 12/50 in my new garage in Romsey. Alvis which had been used for spare parts. I later sold it to an enthusiast to restore. To start with I had to refit all the door’s upholstery and replace the floor boards. Then over a frustrating period of time the car went to three workshops for work and each one took three months or more to undertake the require jobs, despite my continual harassment. The following mechanical work was done during that year. The engine was started and tuned, the radiator core replaced, the steering box from the spare car was rebuilt with new gearing, twin carburettors and distributor overhauled, new plugs and shock absorbers, new engine mounts, new head gasket, new bushes in the steering rods, new brake master cylinder, tappets and rocker arms adjusted, electric choke fitted and many smaller jobs.

Both cars were used frequently on Although there are many TA21s in the VSSC and Alvis Car Club rallies for several Alvis Car Club I have never seen another one years. A change of house with no car since buying this car as the Alvis owners prefer accommodation meant the cars had to go to to rally their sporty pre-war models. new owners. The car is by no means perfect, Country Motor Issue No.1 4 2018 however it is presentable and I am happy to take it out in what ever weather and not be precious about it.

  • Production Data 83
    Production Data 83 Production Dates & Commission Numbers When ordering parts, it is essential that you identify your car exactly, by model year and serial number. Since many part changes were made during model years, the commission number, engine number and body number provide the only positive identification. Quite often a car’s title will not show the correct model year. Before ordering parts, please record the applicable numbers from your car. Using these numbers is the best way to ensure that you order and receive the correct parts. Wherever possible, we have listed part applications by commission number (e), body number (b) or gearbox (g). For more in formation on these numbers and years, see the production data below.

Its average speeds were therefore much higher. Twenty or thirty miles in a day, commonplace for a keen cyclist, was double the capacity of a horse drawing. 6 See pp. 335-6. 7 Because the same men might have different interests, the figures add up to considerably more than the total of Conservative and Liberal M.P.s in Parliament. 8 That is, all owners of land, irrespective of other interests. See J.D. Chambers and G.E. Mingay, The Agricultural Revolution 1750-1880, 158. 9 The royal commission, set up by the government of the day, was an instrument of inquiry into major public issues that was increasingly used as an alternative to the select committee, set up by Parliament.

  • Daimler One-O-Four DF310 Overview
    Daimler One-O-Four DF310 Overview Origins of the name Daimler Confusingly, the name Daimler is used by two completely separate groups of car manufacturers. The history of both companies can be traced back to the German engineer Gottlieb Daimler who built the first cars in 1889. This was the origin of the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, which is translated as Daimler Motor Company, which has manufactured vehicles since the 1890s. Gottlieb Daimler died in 1900, having sold licences to use the Daimler name in a number of countries. The licence granted in 1891 to the British F. R. Simms & Co included the right to use the Daimler name in Great Britain and in 1896 the British Daimler Motor Company was founded. History of the Daimler Motor Company (GB) The Daimler Motor Company Limited, was an independent In the 1950s, Daimler stopped making Lanchesters, and tried British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in London by H. to widen its appeal with a line of new developed sport cars J.

The company bought the right to the use of the Bernard Docker and his newly married wife Norah Collins Daimler name simultaneously from Gottlieb Daimler and performed highly publicised extravagances. This led to the Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft of Cannstatt, Germany. After fact that the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II, who had a early financial difficulty and a reorganization of the company preference for Rolls-Royce anyway, did not use Daimler for in 1904, the Daimler Motor Company was purchased by official events since 1955.

  • TRIUMPH 1800-2000 Renown Saloon the Triumph 1800-2000
    TRIUMPH 1800-2000 Renown Saloon The Triumph 1800-2000 Saloon known as the “Razor Edge” due to its straight angular panels and sharp profile was built between 1946 and 1953. It was a post war car built to pre-war specifications i.e. a separate chassis, with the body built up as a traditional ash frame and styling that dated back to the late 1930’s. The sedan copied the Rolls Royce and Bentleys of the time in its styling, and was one of the first cars to be stretched to make a limousine, complete with glass partition behind the driver. Initially the vehicle was fitted with a 1776cc four-cylinder engine developing 65bhp which in 1948 was enlarged to 2088cc (still only producing 68bhp) and had a top speed of around 80mph. Late models had overdrive as an option on their 3-speed gearboxes and the Renown appeared as an upgraded 2000 Sedan in 1950. The car was not a commercial success however as despite its luxurious appointments, it was always too expensive, compared to its competition and in the British post-war ‘export or die’ atmosphere less than 10% of the total production of 15,400 were exported. TRIUMPH MAYFLOWER The Mayflower was introduced in 1949 and was Triumph’s first post war “small” car. The razor edge lines allowed excellent space utilisation enabling four adults to fit in with ease. It was one of the first cars to feature the “modern” trend of a large glass area, and the square boot handled a full compliment of luggage.

    INTERNATIONAL TRIUMPH SHOW AND SPARES DAY, STONELEIGH PARK SUNDAY MARCH 6TH 2011 Mike Sampson represented the Club with his TDB and he also photographed an unusual Vanguard Estate. OUT WITH LOTHAR KLEMENTZ AGAIN Classic Car gatherings are actually very popular in Germany. This one was held in a small village of Dreieichenhain, quite close to Frankfurt/M for the 14th time last Sunday May 15th (open Sunday for the local shops). Our Renown was positioned in front of a timber-framed building adjacent to the booth of a shop selling home appliances. This shop is strongly customer orientated. As you can see they even customised the fridge according to the provenance of the Renown. BRITISH DAYS AND COUNTRY FAIR AT JAGDSCHLOSS, KRANICHSTEIN, DARMSTADT Another outing for Lothar Klementz took him to this event. FMW 479 TD 3847 A letter from Craig Jeffery. I am writing to tell you of a photograph I found whilst sorting out some odds and ends. The photograph was of my grandfather’s Triumph Razor edge and was taken in 1957. Seeing a picture of his old car brought back memories of numerous holidays and day trips all taken in his wonderful Triumph. So, curiosity getting the better of me, I decided to look on the internet to find out if any of these wonderful cars remained , which is how I found TROC. Whilst looking at your webpage, I noticed you had some photographs of past rallies. When I reached your 2006 anniversary Rally, I clicked on the picture DSC.0096 and to my amazement; there was granddad’s old car, registration number FMW 479.
