Manufacturer description

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 The car had superseded the Silver Eagle and retained some similarities but was also extensively modified to give it some oomph!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 Cream bodywork and a red interior.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Cream Alvis Speed Twenty – 1:76 Scale

The model is supplied under the manufacturer part number 76ALV003 and represents the Alvis Speed 20 produced between 1932 and 1936. It depicts a vehicle from the era of the British “Big Four” railway companies – LNER, LMS, GWR and SR.

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. Compared with its predecessor, the Silver Eagle, the Speed 20 featured a revised chassis, refined engine, and upgraded brakes and suspension, allowing a top speed of around 89 mph. Standard Lucas 12‑inch headlamps and a long running board were fitted. The forward‑four‑door saloon bodies were generally supplied by Charlesworth, while the sporting tourer bodies were produced by Cross and Ellis – the design used for this miniature.

The die‑cast model presents a cream‑coloured body with a red interior, faithfully reproducing the Cross and Ellis tourer styling in 1:76 scale.
