Above are two examples of the 1948 Alvis TA14 Shooting Brake. A white model (HBJ 910) and a green model (LWA 683). Following the end of World War II, Alvis quickly re-emerged with a revised range of passenger cars. As with most other manufacturers, there was no time or money to develop new lines. Therefore the new TA14 was a freshened-up pre-war version of the 12/70, introduced in 1938, the most obvious difference being the adoption of steel disc wheels in place of wires. Alvis had always sold well-built cars with sporting pretensions. The TA14 offered little in terms of actual performance but did come well equipped and beautifully finished. The TA14 used a 1892cc, four-cylinder engine and rigid axles at the front and rear. However, most TA14's were 'Sports Saloons' a few carried drophead coupé coachwork, some being built by Tickford. The TA14 remained in production until 1950.
