OK I looked up Alvis in a book "Post War British Thoroughbreds" by Bruce Hudson 
1972. 

Under Alvis they show the TB 14 and the TC21. I wish I could transmit the TB 
picture to everyone . It must have been the inspiration for Hans Christian 
Anderson's famous tale, but it didn't grow up to be a swan. 

It has a huge "pear shape "modern grille and MGTF type headlights and 68bhp. It 
was a two seater but hasn't one decent line. 

The TA21, TB21 &  TC21 is another story. It is a handsome drophead with a 
traditional grill and some were coach built by Mulliner. It had a six cyl. and 
could do 100mph. 

The book mentioned covers lots of great obscure British cars. One has got to 
see 
a 1950 Austin A90 Atlanic before one can say they have seen it all.
