The Alvis TD21 had been highly successful for the Coventry based company and had gained a loyal customer base. In 1964 Alvis up-dated its coupe model with the more powerful TE21. The TE21 now had 130bhp and a choice of either manual (5 speed) or automatic transmission.

The styling of the TE21 remained similar to the previous car, although fashionable "staked" twin headlamps were a dramatic feature and contrasted with the otherwise traditional shape. In 1966 a triple-carb TF21 replaced the 'TE model and boosted power to a dizzy 150bhp. The suspension and interior was also up-rated and improved on the TF21 and the model stayed in production until 1967.

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.
