It is an Alvis TB 14 ca. 1950. See: http://www.alvisoc.org/Site%20Files/Alvis%20Cars/Post-War/TA%2014.htm Carl Any BAT (Bringatrailer.com) readers out there? What is this car? It looks like some well
I always liked the Alvis TD/TF series - very elegant cars. One of the teachers at my grammar school (= high school in USA) had what I think must have been a TA saloon. This was in the early sixties.
Lord I love this List! Nuanced follow up question, then. I replaced the copper vacuum tube with a rubber tube that fits over that. Is there a Physics type reason that's a bad idea? Terry Smith, '59

Haven't researched archives, so don't feel obligated to respond. I seem to remember hearing a couple of different recommendations on how much to set the advance on a TR3A engine. ISTR one was 4 degre
My suggestion would be to first confirm that both the centrifugal advance and vacuum advance are doing at least something. If either one has quit working, it can make the engine feel sluggish withou
4 degrees is what is called for, you could bump it up a couple with no adverse affects but listen closely for pinging under a load. If you hear pinging you either need to back it down or pony up for
The complaints about poor performance at the recommended static advance deserve a check of total advance with a suitable strobe timing light (either by calculating total advance on the circumference
