87 Years Old

Look what stopped at the traffic lights at lunchtime today. A post-vintage 'Alvis Silver Eagle' from 1935/6.

The title refers to the car, not the driver.


And for any enthusiasts looking in, more details are below:

1936 Alvis Silver Eagle 16/95 Holbrook Four Light Saloon ('The Duchess'), Reg. no. WS 7696, Car no. 17615, Body no. 3261, Chassis no. 12676, Engine no. 13126.

How do I know all that?  Google gave me two hits for the registration number.
It was put up for auction in 2016 but failed to reach its reserve price. Its estimated hammer price had been expected to be between £25,000 and £30,000.
