History

Launched in 1937, the 4.3 Litre was the biggest-engined and fastest Alvis built before the war. Its 4.3-litre six gave performance that put it among the quickest British production cars of the late 1930s, with the short-chassis cars capable of comfortably exceeding 100 mph.

Only around 204 were built before production stopped for the war, making it one of the rarer and most sought-after pre-war Alvis models.
