Vehicle Description
The Alvis Three Litre TD21 was a British sports saloon or coupe
made by Alvis cars between the end of 1958 and October 1963. It was
a revised version of the TC 108G, the body was made by Park Ward
who were better able to supply them to the quantity, quality and
price required. The cars were slightly taller and a drophead coupe
was added to the range, they were both lighter.
The 2993 cc engine was again uprated, now producing 115 bhp (86
kW)2 #fn2 mainly by an improved cylinder head and increasing the
compression ratio from 8.0:1 to 8.5:1. A new four speed gearbox
from the Austin-Healey appeared and Borg Warner three speed
automatic transmission was offered. Overdrive was available on the
manual transmission from late 1960 to 1962. Suspension was similar
to the TC 21, independent at the front using coil springs with leaf
springs at the rear but the track was increased by 1 in (25 mm) to
55.5 in (1,410 mm)3 #fn3 and a front anti roll bar added. Wire
spoked wheels became an option. From 1959 the all drum brake set up
was changed to discs at the front retaining drums at the rear.1
