The Opel 4 PS, launched in 1924, was soon given the name Laubfrosch because it was painted green. An Alvis model from 1925 was called the "Tadpole" or "Tadpole" because all the mechanical components, i.e. the entire weight, were mounted over the front axle. An interesting model, but one that was hardly sold, despite its advanced design and racing success. This report tells the story of the Avis "Tadpole" and shows several examples in pictures.
Anyone looking for an English class car as an alternative to the pre-war cars from Rolls-Royce or Bentley could well end up with the Alvis Speed 25. It offers outstanding performance and workmanship and, on top of that, an acceptable price, which is why it was also known as the "poor man's Bentley". This vehicle report tells the story and the special features of the Alvis Speed 25 and shows it in some pictures.
The Alvis coachbuilt by Hermann Graber were neither the most beautiful, the fastest nor the most expensive of their kind. But they knew how to please and convince in their unagitated way. Even at almost 70 years of age, an Alvis TC 21/100 is a wonderfully relaxed car. This article introduces the Graber Super Cabriolet. Take to the road with us.
The fifties are regarded as the era in which the most beautiful special bodies were created. Some of them were shaped in Wichtrach near Bern and bore the elegant lettering Graber on their flanks. The Swiss coachbuilder Hermann Graber clad vehicles of many brands, but a significant proportion came from the Alvis brand, which celebrates its 100th birthday in 2019. This driving report describes the history of the Alvis TC 108G Graber Coupé and shows an example in many pictures, supplemented by sales literature, historical photographs and technical drawings.
