NICKALVIS ◊ 2018-10-10 21:48	This is an Alvis SA Speed Twenty of 1932. GX3458 is chassis 9810 with a Vanden Plas 4 seater sports body. The car still exists in Australia.I t was a veteran of several movies and appears in Werewolf of London, A Chump at Oxford and several others where it had been repainted white.
