Alvis - Alvis 12/60
The Alvis 12/60 was produced from 1931, which was a sportier shorter wheelbase version, alongside the earlier 12/50 TJ from which it evolved. The 12/60 TK introduced in 1931 and 12/60 TL from 1932 were both fitted as standard with twin SU carburettors and a higher compression ratio using the well tried and tested 1645 cc four cylinder engine. The 12/60 was also available as a sporting saloon, a 4 seater sports and the 2 seater body known as the "Beetleback".
Alvis 12/60 tyre size was originally quoted 5.00x20, and Blockley manufacture the perfect tyre that is listed as "475/500x20" which we produced to the highest quality that is possible, with a correct 3 stud tread pattern. Not to be confused with the other brands of low grade 500x20 tyres! We were persuaded to make this Blockley 475/500x20 size by Alvis owners who were fed up of the tyres available from the Classic tyre wholesalers. You will not be disappointed - see full details of this 20 inch tyre at the link below:
