In production from 1923 until 1932, the 12/50 helped established Alvis' reputation and was one of the most important cars of the time The Alvis Alvista fabric saloon was featured a fabric-covered body over a wooden frame, built on either the 12/50 or 16.95 Silver Eagle chassis The fabric bodywork offered an alternative to the more traditional steel or Aluminium panelling on Ash-framed bodies Built by Cross & Ellis on a TG 12/50 chassis, this remarkable 'Barn Find' is on offer from a deceased estate, and has been bequeathed to local benefactors, who remember the car and its former keeper fondly Understood to have been driven around by its owner locally in relatively recent times, its last MOT was issued in 2012 and presumably was put into storage some time after that Seemingly solid in the main, it does roll easily, however, the fabric bodywork will need careful treatment Accompanied by its V5, showing one keeper from new in 1927, this is an unusual opportunity to acquire a single-keeper vintage car ready for a celebration of its 100th Birthday very soon
