1932 Speed 20SA    Ref:  2236    Date:  1/4/2025

GY6949 - Post war was owned by Lt Comm Bryce Clinkard RN (Clink) - who at the time was the AOC Technical Advisor. With him the car travelled worldwide, purportedly well protected on the deck of his destroyer! This could account for the Ceylon AA badge on the badge bar. Following on it passed through a further 3 owners before being purchased by the current owner in 2009. Owner no 3 loaned the Speed 20 to the Brooklands museum for several years where it was displayed.
Over the last 16 years GY6949 has had at considerable expense, a body off respray including repairs to some ash framing, a comprehensive engine rebuild along with a gearbox and steering box overhaul, mostly by Tim Walker Restorations who is well known in Alvis circles. A thick file of history shows work carried out back to the 1950’s.
It is an exceptionally comfortable ride, due to some extent to its air filled seats which help to cushion quite a few modern pot holes! Four new tyres were fitted recently along with some new carpets.
It is a very attractive early Van den Plas tourer produced from the first production batch of 100 models in 1932 ordered by Charles Follett the London dealer.
The factory build sheet shows Car no.14583 chassis no 9874 together with engine no 10326. The gear box is a recondioned one no. 8276 fitted whilst the original box no. 9880 was itself bing rebuilt. The latter will be sold with the car for originality purposes.
The vehicle is currently registered on SORN

This car has featured in the AOC Bulletin, won 1st prize at our local car club show last year, and was entered in this year’s IAW Concours. A great car to drive and enjoy, whizzing past the boring modern stuff. This car looks good, is a joy to be seated within, and provides affordable and exciting classic car driving. A recent round trip to North Yorkshire, from Hampshire was achieved at motorway cruising speeds, 27mpg and no oil used. I have really enjoyed owning, improving and driving this car, for the last nearly five years, but health issues means that I have to rationalise my ‘interesting’ cars.
Price £29,500 ono.

First registered to John Blackwood of Beaulieu Lodge; delivered painted Glasso Grey with ‘modified rear wing’. Exported to the USA in 1975, it returned to the UK in 1989. The vehicle was then restored and repainted in its present colour scheme.
Since 2010 work has included: replaced wiring loom (mice!), fitting extra cooling fan, fitting an alternator, upgraded lights, new fuel tank, clutch, gearbox oil seals, new radiator, rear springs, new wheels, seat belts fitted, that are anchored to the chassis and a period radio with new internals. Also, has a working clock! Complete engine rebuild in 2013, Oil consumption since then approximately 750 miles per pint
The vehicle has been maintained for reliability, regardless of cost. The internal trim is in good condition and shows the wear you would expect for a 36-year-old restoration. The bodywork is sound and the paintwork polishes up well, although it was the next project the owner was going to undertake before his age dictated otherwise!
A history file, with supporting documents, comes with the vehicle. Although exempt, the vehicle has been regularly MOT tested, the current one expires May 2026.
