内容説明
For nearly half a century Alvis was famed worldwide for the design and manufacture of its thoroughbred cars, including pioneering work on front-wheel drive and independent suspension. The Coventry precision-engineering firm always knew that diversification was essential for survival and went on to make aero engines and armoured fighting vehicles. As Alvis ceased to exist as a separate entity when it became part of BAe Systems in 2004, this fourth edition - which includes important new material - is the definitive history of the marque.
目次
Company history, racing history, car specifications and performance data. Aero engines and armoured vehicles - Alvis military vehicle designs are still in front-line use around the world, notably in Iraq and Afghanistan. Alvis ownership - maintenance and repair points.

The book, first published in 1981, is a collectors' item, with copies of the third edition fetching GBP70 to GBP100. Membership of the Alvis Owners' Club stands at more than 3,000.
