Beautiful and wonderful car… A true expression of Graber’s inspiration, and Alvis Engineering.
This might seem like a daft question but how does one pronounce
Graber ?
Grar-ber, not Gray-ber
Lovely, but not exceptional. Might better have been a drophead. Bruce Earlin
The cabriolet is being built now .
A DHC for special occasions. Mr Earlin, you may be interested to know that 231 EXN is alive and very well in London and just undergoing a winter refresh!
Looks like a Graber-ish take on David Little’s own superb ‘development’ TF…… 🙂
Both David’s and the new car are Graber designs, David’s dates from 1958 this one from 1966.
Nice job RT – the name lives on.
Are those cup holders ahead of the gear stick ?
Yes, as specified by the client. Also electric window switches on the console, and manual quarter lights.
Looks lovely. Good luck to the new owner and to RT with continued continuaton
Great profile, but the rear looks too flat, and the round tail lights looks as a Citroen Ami 6 !…a bit cheap..
In the interior, no armrest between the rear seats ?…what a shame !…The rear headrest should have been on the same drawing as the front ones : not with this half round shape that looks too modern…The air vents of the front places and the heater controls look very cheap and common plastic : what a shame ! it contrasts too much with the classic and elegant dash board… also for th electric windows controls : very common, very cheap !
Visible electric wire mess on the side of the console : not very serious !
Very amazing that all those details have been failed…This seems really to have been bungled !
What a shame, as the car looks great, on front and profile !
If you don’t like the rear end of the 1965-7 Graber design you can order yours with an earlier design. You can also order whatever interior detailing you require – it is custom built.
Thank you for this important precision : that’s great and very smart ;-)…Unfortunatly, very few of us could afford such an invest ! 😉
Well done RTS. Any criticism is in envy of a very pretty motor car.
No John, it’s not in envy : I own a TE 21 FHC from 1965, with chrome wire wheels, power steering, auto gear box and Webasto sliding roof ;-)…I only dream of a convertible version 🙂
Few days ago I left my comment “ugly interior” and it was deleted a few days later. Alvis Archive censorship ?
