I always liked the Park Ward offering of the 3 litre Alvis...that was until I saw this little beauty by Graber. Exquisite.

Quite a machine, I'm not quite sure about all the fiddly little fins and bits of trim, personally I'd go for the "normal" version I think - although I'd be happy enough with either Smile

A lovely car, and well worth a premium over the standard TD21 because of its rarity, but four times the price? Like Rick I would be happy with the standard Park Ward model.

On reflection I have to agree about the fins. I ignored my initial reservations and fell for the overall lighter touch.

As to the price...too steep by far. Razz
