Alvis TE21

About the Alvis TE21

The Alvis Three Litre Series III sports saloon or drophead coupé, also known as TE 21, was manufactured between 1963 and 1966 with a body built by Mulliner Park Ward. It was an updated version of the 1958 TD21.The 2993 cc engine, first used in the 1950 TA 21, received a modified cylinder head and manifold which increased power to 130 bhp (97 kW) at 4000 rpm giving the car a top speed of 107 mph (172 km/h).A choice of automatic or five speed gearbox made by ZF was available. Suspension was independent at the front using coil springs, with leaf springs at the rear. Disc brakes were fitted to all wheels.

Recirculating-ball-type steering gear was fitted to reduce effort and power steering became optional in late 1964.

Although the car was replaced by the TF 21 in 1966, the TE 21 was still in stock and "available to special order" until 1967.
