The complete factory was completely destroyed on Thursday, November 14th 1940 and in 1946 the production was restarted. Alvis was founded by Thomas George John and G.P. de Freville. In 1920, the first cars were built under the name Alvis and 47 years later the brand Alvis came to an end with the incorporation at the British Leyland concern where it became part of Rover. The cars of Alvis were qualitative and with excellent quality finish and were very fast. Alvis developed and manufactured many parts under its own management. The production was small-scale and exclusive.
