This Alvis Speed 25 is an elegant and luxurious pre-war British touring car, benefitting from some restorative maintenance. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated, triple carburettor-fed 3.5-litre straight-six, delivering around 79kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with synchromesh. This Speed 25 is understood to be one of just 198 examples produced between 1937 and 1940, and one of only 39 to be fitted with a Cross & Ellis design 4-door sports tourer body from new. First registered in Scotland, it was originally built to police specification and subsequently fitted with a siren, before being imported into Australia in approximately 1965. The odometer shows 66,365 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1939 This Alvis Speed 25 features a four-door sports tourer body built by Charlesworth, finished in a combination of cream and blue, with elegant chrome trim elements over a blue vinyl -trimmed interior with an elegant wooden dashboard. It rides on a set of 19-inch black-powder-coated wire wheels with two-ear knock-offs, wrapped in Excelsior tyres. A spare wheel is mounted on the front-left wing. Equipment includes servo-assisted brakes, independent front suspension, a dual exhaust, a siren, a four-spoke steering wheel with throttle, ignition and light controls, reversed-hinged rear doors, and a fire extinguisher. Accompanying the vehicle will be an original Alvis 4.3-litre instruction book, a copy of the factory build sheet, an original Alvis Speed 25 sales brochure, copies of photographs taken between 1939 and the early 1950s, various diagram copies, and various copies of Auto Trader and similar publications, together with some spare parts, including a very rare gearbox and an additional Speed 25 wheel. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: parts of the original wood-framed body have been replaced; it sustained damage to the rear in 1949; the body was restored and painted in the 1980s; the seats and door cards were retrimmed in vinyl in the 1980s; minor touch-ups have been completed recently; there are minor blemishes where the sides of the bonnet touch the adjacent mudguard; the wooden dashboard was replaced in 2012; the original speedometer does not work, though a Jaycar digital speedometer will be included; the tyres are over 18 years old. The car’s last roadworthiness inspection was completed in 2007. This Speed 25’s most recent routine maintenance was an oil change and lubrication service, which was completed around five years ago. The seller notes that the car has covered around 50 miles since Various components were overhauled between 2009 and 2022. A breakdown of work performed between 2007 and 2025 is available in the photo gallery.
