Yes it is the prototype Alvis TA21 that was eventually deemed too expensive to produce.
However I have an earlier year for it.
Locked for you until your next reply.

Captain Slow, I'm giving you another 12 hours to come back with the answer before I open it up again.
Apart from the year being wrong, the model type is still lacking its full description.
Although it was a prototype TA21 it was called the xxxxxxx xxxxx TA21.

Thanks for keeping it locked, but as I haven't found the answer in the last three days I'm unlikely to get it now. Feel free to open it back up.

No it's an Alvis prototype and nothing to do with Jano or Lancia

thorax · June 06, 2011, 03:54:08 PM

yes I know

but I've read that for this car the project team take inspiration from Vittorio Jano's Lancia Aurelia

D-type · June 06, 2011, 04:16:37 PM

Guessing...

Grey Lady?
from 1949?
