Prototype Eras
Era 3 (1923 to 1947) The Big Four (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR)
Era 4 (1948 to 1956) British Railways Early Crest
The Speed 20 Alvis was manufactured between 1932 and 1936, across four variants A-D. During its lifetime, only 1185 were made in total, 400 of which were on the first Speed 20 SA. The car had superseded the Silver Eagle and retained some similarities but was also extensively modified to give it some oomph! The updated version included a new chassis, engine refinements and improved brakes and suspension. The result was a 'tourer' capable of up to 89 mph. The large Lucas 12" headlamps became standard; the car featured a long running board . The forward four door saloon version was generally Charlesworth, whereas the sporty tourer coachwork came from Cross and Ellis, whose design we have taken for our miniature version. This car is shown with Black bodywork and a red interior.

Oxford Diecast Black Alvis Speed Twenty – 1:76 Scale
The model, part number 76ALV001, replicates the Alvis Speed 20 produced between 1932 and 1936. It represents the “Big Four” railway period (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR) and is offered in a 1:76 scale.
The original Speed 20 was built in four variants (A to D) with a total production run of 1 185 cars, of which 400 were the first Speed 20 SA. The car featured a new chassis, engine refinements, improved brakes and suspension, and could reach up to 89 mph. Standard fittings included 12‑inch Lucas headlamps, a long running board, and either a four‑door saloon body by Charlesworth or a sporty tourer body by Cross and Ellis – the latter is the coachwork used for this miniature.
The die‑cast version is finished in black with a red interior, faithfully reproducing the tourer style.
