Sorry, no! The red open tourer is a 1939 Alvis 4.3 litre with a Rod Jolley replica body I fitted in 1995/7 after the original saloon body was destroyed in the USA. It is as accurate a replica as could sensibly be made, and in fact more accurate than some of the 12 originals! The car has been used in a number of films and TV programmes, including Enigma (very briefly) and A for Acid, the story of Haig the acid bath murderer, when Martin Clunes drove it quite a lot. The black and light blue Speed 25 used in Poirier, is also mine and has been used in many films since Enemy at the Door with Marting Jarvis, in 1976 and including both BBC and ITV Miss Marple IDRIS FRANCIS |
