1954 Alvis TC21/100 “Grey Lady” 

​

Rare Australian Delivery | Useable Post War Saloon | Restored Example

​

Autohaus Storage is pleased to present this exceptional opportunity to acquire an 1954 Alvis TC21/100 “Grey Lady”, offered in restored condition and supported by rare Australian delivery provenance. This Mulliner-bodied saloon was restored prior to acquisition by the current custodian in 2022 and is finished in an elegant two-tone black over yellow, complemented by cream leather upholstery.

​

This example is one of only six Grey Lady models sold new in Australia, originally delivered on 16 February 1954 through Aubrey Melrose Motors, Adelaide. A copy of the original sales record confirms Chassis 25449 was supplied in black with red pleated upholstery, complete with the full Grey Lady specification, including wire wheels with knock-on hubs, English speedometer, Lucas P700 headlamps, fog and flare lamps, bonnet top cowls, side louvres, pleated trim, de-mister plates, and modified rear wings.

​

The Grey Lady featured an upgraded 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine producing 115 hp, with twin SU carburettors, a high-compression 8:1 cylinder head, improved manifolding, a larger radiator, and a 3.77:1 final drive, paired with a Moss four-speed manual gearbox. The TC21/100 holds an important place in post-war British motoring history, being one of only four cars to exceed 100 mph during The Autocar magazine’s 1953 road test of 33 manufacturers competing to reach the “magic ton”.

​

The car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file, including original sales records, ownership history, period road tests and technical literature, a 2022 Alvis Club Magazine featuring the car as the cover story, two keys, Alvis reference books, and a new copy of “The Red Triangle” parts catalogue.

​

Rare, documented, and restored, this Australian-delivered Alvis TC21/100 Grey Lady represents a compelling acquisition for the discerning collector, combining genuine provenance, period performance credentials, and elegant Mulliner coachwork in a highly usable post-war sporting saloon.
