More recently, No. 1 has taken part in a photoshoot in preparation for a forthcoming article in Classic and Sportscar magazine at the newly-created Bicester Heritage centre. The article will trace the history of Alvis’ involvement in racing during the 1920s and will feature not only No.1, but also the 1924 200 miles car as well as a 1927 FWD sportscar to cover the later Le Mans efforts. More photographs are to come, but a selection is available here.
