This car competed in two Short Handicap races at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2019.
It's the 1930 Avon Alvis Special of Alan Harpley and is based on an Avon Standard Special which had an Avon body on a Standard Nine chassis. Alan Harpley's car has a 1,842cc Alvis engine in place of the usual Standard engine, and narrower bodywork.
This car is still owned by Alan Harpley having built it and first raced it in 1969. It has recently been fitted with a Wade supercharger and remains as attractive as ever.
