Today the car that would have been replaced by the recently featured Rover-based ‘Gladys’ or P6BS/P9, the Alvis TE 21, seen here at the British Motor Museum in 2024. This elegant body style originated with the Swiss coach-builder Graber but production switched to the UK as volumes increased. This 1965 example was one of the last of the original production run. (1/4)
A rival project at Rover to yesterday’s mid-engined P6BS/P9 was this more conservative design for a coupé version of the Rover P6, ‘Gladys’, seen here at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon. It was thought that if either car had made it to production, it might have been sold as an Alvis, although this one is clearly badged as a Rover. Alvis had been acquired by Rover in 1965, and Alvis engineers worked on the P6BS prototype.
I'd only seen photos of this Citroen CX until last night and knew they didn't do the paint justice. In person, that polychromatic paint is absolutely bonkers in the best way.
There's also an Alvis and an MG Y saloon here to enjoy.
