Alvis
Founded in Coventry in 1919, Alvis built pre-war sports saloons and tourers that rivalled the Derby Bentley — the Speed 20 introduced the world's first all-synchromesh production gearbox and independent front suspension in 1933, and the Speed 25 and 4.3-Litre were among the fastest catalogued British cars of their period. After the war the marque built the coachbuilt 3-Litre line to a Hermann Graber design until 1967, characterised by Hagerty as "an English Facel Vega". Original coachwork, matching numbers and continuous history are the defining value drivers.
