About the Alvis Firebird
The Alvis Firebird was a British touring car made between 1935 and 1939 by Alvis Ltd in Coventry. Developed from the Alvis Firefly, 450 Firebirds were produced, as a two-door Tourer, a 2+2 sports tourer, a two-door drophead Coupé, and a four-door Saloon.Powered by an 1842 cc 4-cylinder overhead-valve Alvis engine, it had an aluminium body on an ash wood frame. As with other Alvis cars, the Firebird was built as a rolling chassis then sent to the coachbuilders Cross & Ellis or Holbrook, to be finished to the customer's requirements, and so all Alvis Firebirds are different. The Firebird had an all-synchromesh gearbox, and the chassis was lubricated by grease nipples under the bonnet.[
Production figures are as followa:-
324 four-door saloons by Holbrook
97 drop-head coupes by Cross and Ellis
25 tourers by Cross and Ellis
3 four-door saloons by Cross and Ellis (6-lt)
