It's a 1930 Alvis 12/50 and the only information about it in the programme of the event is that it was entered for the Run by John P. Glithero of Hyde, Cheshire. The Alvis company was founded
in 1919 with motor car production commencing three years later with the 10/30
model, and 1924 was to see the launch the 12/50 that established Alvis as a
manufacturer of high-quality sporting cars. The 12/50 originally had a 4-cylinder
inline engine of 1,496cc and was produced through various revisions until
1932, the engine size being increased to 1,598cc and finally to the 1,645cc of
the car pictured here.
