Is 'Silver Crest' the proper model name? |

"Based around a 1939 Alvis Silver Crest chassis, HEH 856 had already been reconfigured as a Special by the time it entered the current ownership in 1996. .... fitted with a 1930 Cadillac V16 7.4 litre engine in place of the incumbent (non-original) Jaguar 4.2 litre unit. Sourced from the late John Willment's estate, the American powerplant now develops some 280bhp and 410lb/ft of torque, it drives the back wheels via an Alvis Speed 25 four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox and 3.5:1 rear axle ratio (the latter taken from a Land Rover).
