Can anyone advise me where I might locate information and images from the 1947 Monte Carlo Concours d'elegance. Having tried internet searching I am getting nothing at all!
There was a Alvis Ta14 with saloon coachwork by Airflow Streamlines of Northampton (known as a Airflow 'Woodland' saloon) displayed and gained an award for coachwork. As I am restoring one of these, I am trying to gather as much information as I can.

Thanks
Geoff

Hi. Thanks for that riley541. I have been in touch with Airflow Streamlines a few years back, but they have no records, they were destroyed prior to 1964!
Many thanks for showing an interest.

It'd be interesting to see any photos you might have of the type, as then people would know what to look out for when flicking through magazines etc.

Welcome to the forum btw

Hi Jason. I will dig out some photo's as soon as I can. However my restoration has been on hold for a number of years now. Family life, house building and other cars have taken their toll on my time since I bought the car some 20yrs ago. I intend to get back to working on the car in the near future!!!!

I do have a second 'Woodland' which is also in a bad state. This one was MOT'd when I got it, but the body frame; especially the main load bearing timber on the drivers side; was so bad I did not want to chance driving it.

Are you familiar with the body style of the 'Woodland'? There is a picture on the Alvis Club site if you would like to see the shape; this seems to be the only published period shot of one of these from a motoring magazine of the time. There are only three known to the Alvis Club; out of 15 or 16 made; so I am determined to make sure mine survive.

The photo's I have of my restoration were take before the 'digital age' so it will take me a little while to dig them out and scan them to put on here.

Will get back to you as soon as I can.

Geoff
