Alvis entered into serious production of its Graber styled coupe in 1958 and re-named it the TD21. The TD21 now had a body built by Park Ward which was available in either fixed or drophead coupe form. The TD21 used the same 2993cc power unit as the older saloon models which gave a reasonable power output, this was improved in 1959 with a 120bhp unit.
In 1962 a Mk II version became available and featured all-round disc brakes and some styling changes. Production of the TD21 continued until 1963.
Dampers on these cars are all Luvax hydraulic, with dashboard adjustment and also pump on rear spring to stiffen at speed.
Front leaf spring is transverse, with lower wishbones, giving independent front suspension.
Steering: Marles O Type
Max Speed: 89mph but increased with development, later ones did 97mph.
