Testing Alvis's 1.9-litre TA14 sports saloon in 1946, Autocar found the new model, "the most attractive car of its size which the well known company has produced, because it adds to the typical Alvis sure-footed and lively performance on the road a degree of all-round refinement which is quite impeccable. It steers lightly and with a confident certainty, and holds the road to perfection; the suspension is not hard, but most comfortable, the engine is very smooth and quite quiet, and the engine mounting conceals how many cylinders there are." The car's excellent tractability, well-spaced gear ratios and powerful brakes all came in for praise, Autocar concluding that the TA14's, "very high level of excellence puts this Alvis right in the front rank." Originally registered 'JYN 992' in the UK but currently registered in the Irish Republic, this TA14 sports saloon is reported as in fundamentally sound condition mechanically, though we understand that the kingpins and spring shackles require attention and that the car would benefit from some cosmetic refurbishment. The vehicle is finished in two-tone black/grey with tan cloth interior, and is offered without documentation.
