The “Motor” refers to ALVIS “silence without sacrifice” . . . “a startling capacity for acceleration”—“superlative workmanship”— “ALVIS have gone far beyond ‘showroom silencing’”—“quietness of these engines”. Yet the ALVIS 4.3 luxury saloon has exceeded 100 m.p.h. in standard form and the 4-seater Tourer with raised compression attained 119 m.p.h. in the Dunlop Trophy event. The finest example in the world of silent, safe, and sustained performance. Standard 4.3 Litre Saloon, £995. The INAUDIBLE ALVIS MODELS FROM £425 ALVIS LTD., COVENTRY.
