Alvis 3-Litre - 1965

The absorption of Alvis by Rover hasn't cost this finely engineered car its individuality. The accent - and it's one common to Alvis and Rover both - is still on quality and first-class finish. Two models form the range, saloon and convertible, both normally fitted with a 5-speed all-synchromesh gearbox but with the option of automatic. Power steering is another available extra.

The 6-cylinder engine is a conventional and long-established design with a seven-bearing crankshaft and overhead valves operated by pushrods.
