The postwar Alvis evolved from the prewar 12/70

Alvis TA14 Carbodies DHC. Carbodies made the body on this 1947 Alvis TA14, but many of the coachbuilders were being bought up by other manufacturers and it was getting hard for Alvis to clothe their cars.

Alvis TA 14 Raine Saloon. The postwar Alvis TA 14 (1946-50) had a 'standard' saloon body by Mulliner and DHC bodies by Carbodies and Tickford. But many other coachbuilders supplied bodies, including this by Raine of Durham

Alvis TA 21. In 1950 the TA14 was replaced by the 2993cc six cylinder Alvis TA21 and continued until 1953

Alvis TB14 AP Metalcraft Sports. The Alvis Agent in Belgium produced some sporting bodies on TA 14s and even entered one at Le Mans. The TB 14 with bodywork by AP Metlacraft in Belgium was modelled on these cars, and had a 68bhp engine.

Alvis TC21 DHC. In 1950 the TA14 was superseded by the TA21 which was mechanically similar. This was further revised and in 1953 became the TC21. This is a Tickford Drophead Coupe
