ALVIS SPEED 20 SB

We are continuing with the ash-frame restoration on the Alvis.  We had hoped not to have to remove the rear body skin, but on closer inspection the frame was found to be so bad that we felt it was the only way to be sure of getting rid of all the decaying wood/woodworm.  We have braced what is left of the frame so that reconstruction can take place.

N/S rear corner




O/S rear body - note NO fixings so no structure




Previous 'repairs' to O/S rear C-post




O/S rear main structure showing advanced rot
