For nearly half a century Alvis was famed worldwide for the design and manufacture of its thoroughbred cars, including pioneering work on front-wheel drive and independent suspension. The Coventry precision-engineering firm always knew that diversification was essential for survival and went on to make aero engines and armoured fighting vehicles. As Alvis ceased to exist as a separate entity when it became part of BAe Systems in 2004, this fourth edition - which includes important new material - is the definitive history of the marque.
