A very nice example of the Alvis TF 21 Series IV two door saloon, parked by Gillies Jones art glass studio in Rosedale Abbey.

Production of the TF 21 stopped in 1967, being the last model produced by the firm until the 'continuation' series started up again a few years ago. A new example of the TF 21 will cost around £250,000! This car was bought in 1971 for £700 by the current owner and is now worth around £100,000 in its present condition.
