Hi Rye,

Surprisingly  it could be as late as a year or so ago because the Company….. RED TRIANGLE…. are in my home town.

Brent, my photographer pal and I were given a guided tour of the Series of buildiings on a local industrial unit where oldies are restored  , new Alvises are made , serviced and broken up, for spares .

Red Triangle is worth seeking out on YouTube, and Google…. Lots of info..

Brent and I enjoyed  a gratis VIP tour compete with coffee and biscuites.

 

See the workshop with a brand new Alvis under construction , hand beaten aluminium panels , plus solid ash frames, using original designs, but with all mechanicals up to today’s standards…a truly fascinating place.

It looks  similar to the Morgan Factory   near Malvern that I went around  before the Pandemic . That also had wooden framework on some of their models.

Oh Ho! Two more , night owls in yourself and Clicker… ..03:20 here just now…. Thanks for the feedback.

The new models are 100% Alvis in every way too , but have to meet the safety and emission standards of today …. Red Triangle posses a massive stock of original old/brand new parts , they self manufacture anything else they need….the small dedicated team of crafters were all dedicated engineers, panel beaters and mechanics ….They also maintain all of the other models , offering a collect and return service… The late great Douglas Bader was a ci=ustomer, as was , The Duke  of Edinborough , we were able to read original correspondence from both about how they would like their particular cars servicing or adjusting to suit needs….
