So SKYNET got all mad because it got hacked from China and now China will get all mad back and people will point and say angry items and frown and sooner or later the computers will take more than and bomb us all to bits until John Connor requires more than and SKYNET is destroyed. Till then? Please take pleasure in the berries.


Boom! go the berries. Boom!

The surrounding location will be transformed into Eurovision Island, an Olympic Park style complicated which will home amenities and the Press Centre for the entirety of the contest.[6]

Refshaleøen, originally an island in its own proper but now annexed to the larger island of Amager, is a former industrial web site in the harbor of Copenhagen, Denmark. For much more than a hundred years, it was residence to the shipyard Burmeister &amp Wain which closed in 1996.

Refshaleøen is often utilised as a venue for events and festivals. In 2013, I 2013 the area played host to the heavy metal festival Copenhell, the electronic music festival EDM 2013, Scandinavian Reggae Festival, MAD Food Symposium (element of Copenhagen Cooking), Refshalen Music Festival and Asteroiden theatre festival.

Following Planet War I the Post Workplace started to obtain the more effective motorcycles then offered. The commence of the 1920s was the starting of The Post Office’s motor transport scheme, during which it bought Matchless, Triumph, Enfield, Douglas, Clyno and Chater Lea motorcycles. 1 of the biggest suppliers of machines to the Post Workplace was BSA.


Combination machines (with sidecars), although much more costly to operate had been frequently utilized each for delivery and collection function. Regardless of this, solo machines such as the BSA C10 were ideally suited for the solo delivery of mail and for telegram function.


This machine is one of the couple of wartime purchases created by the Post Workplace. The continuation of an efficient mail service in the course of the war years was important both as a indicates of communication and to boost morale. In the course of Globe War II this motorcycle would have been fitted with a hooded headlight to conform to wartime blackout regulations.

“Joaninha” (Renault four CV)


Image by pedrosimoes7

Oeiras, Portugal


in Wikipedia


The Renault 4CV is an economy vehicle created by the French manufacturer Renault from August 1947 to July 1961. As the first French automobile to sell over a million units, the 4CV was in the end superseded by the Renault Dauphine.


The 4CV was a four-door sedan of monocoque construction,[1] three.6 meters in length with rear suicide doors[three] and using Renault’s Ventoux engine in a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout.


The car’s name, 4CV, translates from the French for 4 cheveaux or 4 horse, especially four taxable horsepower.


To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the debut of the 4CV, in 1996 Renault presented a totally roadworthy concept car, the Renault Fiftie, with styling that recalled the 4CV, only in a two-door, mid-engine design and style.


Conception and history


The 4CV was originally conceived and designed covertly by Renault engineers throughout the German occupation of France in the course of Planet War II, when the manufacturer was under strict orders to design and create only industrial and military vehicles. A design group led by Fernand Picard, Charles-Edmond Serre and Jean-Auguste Riolfo envisioned a tiny, economical automobile appropriate for the economically tough years which would inevitably stick to the war.


The first prototype was completed in 1942 and two a lot more prototypes had been developed in the following 3 years. Pierre Lefaucheux tested the four CV prototype at Renault’s Herqueville estate.[four] The 4CV was ultimately presented to the public and media at the 1946 Paris Motor Show. The cars went on sale a year later.


In 1940 Louis Renault had directed his engineering team to &quotmake him a car like the Germans&quot. And until the arrangement was simplified in 1954, the 4CV featured a ‘dummy’ grill comprising six thin horizontal chrome strips, intended to distract focus from the similarity of the car’s all round architecture to that of the German Volkswagen,[1] whilst recalling the modern day designs of the fashionable front engined passenger vehicles produced in Detroit throughout the earlier 1940s.


An essential portion of the 4CV’s achievement, owes to the new methodologies employed in its manufacture, pioneered by Pierre Bézier. Bézier had begun his 42 year tenure at Renault as a Tool Setter, moving up to Tool Designer and then becoming head of the Tool Style Office. As Director of Production Engineering in 1949, he developed the transfer lines (or transfer machines) making most of the mechanical components for the 4CV.[5] The transfer machines were higher-functionality function tools designed to machine engine blocks. Even though imprisoned for the duration of WWII, Bézier created and enhanced on the automatic machine principle, introduced before the war by GM (Basic Motors). The new transfer station with several workstations and electromagnetic heads (antecedants to robots), enabled different operations on a single component to be consecutively performed by transferring the part from one particular station to another.


On the 4CV’s launch, it was nicknamed &quotLa motte de beurre&quot(the lump of butter) — due to the combination of its shape and the truth that early deliveries all utilized surplus paint from the German Army autos of Rommel’s Afrika-Corps, in a sand-yellow colour.[1] The 4CV was initially powered by a 760cc rear mounted four-cylinder engine coupled to a three-speed manual transmission. [7] In 1950 the 760cc unit was replaced by a 747cc version [7] of the &quotVentoux&quot engine creating 17 hp (13 kW).


In spite of an initial period of uncertainty and poor sales due to the ravaged state of the French economy, the 4CV had sold 37,000 units by mid-1949 and was the most well-known vehicle in France. The auto remained in production for much more than a decade afterwards. Claimed power output elevated subsequently to 21 hp (16 kW) as increased fuel octanes allowed for larger compression ratios, which along with the comparatively low weight of the vehicle (620 kg) enabled the companies to report an – 90 km/h (56 mph) time of 38 seconds and a prime speed barely beneath one hundred km/h (62 mph).[1] The engine was notable also for its elasticity, the second and prime gear both becoming usable for speeds between five km/h (three mph) and 100 km/h (62 mph): the absence of synchromesh on first gear would presumably have discouraged use of the bottom gear except when beginning from rest.


The rear mounting of the engine meant that the steering could be highly geared even though remaining reasonably light: in the early vehicles only 2¼ turns had been required from lock to lock.[1] The unusually direct steering no doubt delighted some keen drivers, but road tests of the time nonetheless included warnings to take great care with the car’s handling on wet roads.[1] In due course the makers switched from 1 intense to the other, and on later vehicles 4½ turns had been needed to turn the steering wheel from lock to lock.


The 4CV’s direct replacement was the Dauphine, launched in 1956, but the 4CV in fact remained in production until 1961. The 4CV was replaced by the Renault 4 which utilised the identical engine as the 4CV and sold for a similar cost.

Although most of the vehicles had been assembled at Renault’s Île Seguin plant located on an island in the river opposite Billancourt, the 4CV was also assembled in seven other countries, becoming Australia, Belgium, England, Ireland, Japan (where the Hino assembled examples gained a reputation for superior quality[1]), Spain and South Africa.[1] 1,105,543 vehicles were made the 4CV became the very first French vehicle to sell over a million.


The 4CV was easily modified and was utilized extensively as a racing auto. The 1st collaboration in between the Alpine business and Renault was the Alpine A-106 which was based on the 4CV. The partnership which would go on to win the Planet Rally Championship with the legendary Alpine A-110 in later years,

Boeing’s B-29 Superfortress was the most sophisticated propeller-driven bomber of Globe War II and the first bomber to residence its crew in pressurized compartments. Despite the fact that developed to fight in the European theater, the B-29 located its niche on the other side of the globe. In the Pacific, B-29s delivered a assortment of aerial weapons: standard bombs, incendiary bombs, mines, and two nuclear weapons.


On August 6, 1945, this Martin-constructed B-29-45-MO dropped the 1st atomic weapon utilised in combat on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, Bockscar (on show at the U.S. Air Force Museum close to Dayton, Ohio) dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Enola Gay flew as the advance weather reconnaissance aircraft that day. A third B-29, The Great Artiste, flew as an observation aircraft on each missions.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Vought OS2U-3 Kingfisher:


The Kingfisher was the U.S. Navy’s main ship-based, scout and observation aircraft throughout Planet War II. Revolutionary spot welding strategies gave it a smooth, non-buckling fuselage structure. Deflector plate flaps that hung from the wing’s trailing edge and spoiler-augmented ailerons functioned like added flaps to permit slower landing speeds. Most OS2Us operated in the Pacific, exactly where they rescued a lot of downed airmen, which includes World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker and the crew of his B-17 Flying Fortress.


In March 1942, this airplane was assigned to the battleship USS Indiana. It later underwent a six-month overhaul in California, returned to Pearl Harbor, and rejoined the Indiana in March 1944. Lt. j.g. Rollin M. Batten Jr. was awarded the Navy Cross for generating a daring rescue in this airplane under heavy enemy fire on July 4, 1944.

Good Prototype Manufacturing Firm pictures

A few good prototype manufacturing company images I found:


Sinsheim – Technikmuseum Sinsheim – DeLorean DMC-12 02


Image by Daniel Mennerich

The DeLorean DMC-12 (commonly referred to simply as The DeLorean as it was the only model ever made by the company) is a sports vehicle manufactured by John DeLorean’s DeLorean Motor Company for the American market in 1981–82. Featuring gull-wing doors with a fiberglass &quotunderbody&quot, to which non-structural brushed stainless steel panels are affixed, the auto became iconic for its look as a modified time machine in the Back to the Future film trilogy.


The 1st prototype appeared in October 1976, and production officially began in 1981 in Dunmurry, a suburb of south west Belfast, Northern Ireland (with the very first DMC-12 rolling off the production line on January 21). During its production, a number of characteristics of the auto had been changed, such as the hood style, wheels and interior. Around 9,000 DMC-12s have been created before production halted in early 1983.


The DMC-12 was the only model developed by the business, which would go into liquidation as the US vehicle marketplace went through its biggest slump because the 1930s. In 2007, about six,500 DeLorean Motor cars had been believed to still exist.


British entrepreneur Stephen Wynne primarily based in Texas started a separate firm in 1995 making use of the &quotDeLorean Motor Firm&quot name and shortly thereafter acquired the trademark on the stylized &quotDMC&quot logo as properly as the remaining components inventory of the original DeLorean Motor Firm. The organization, at its suburban Humble, Texas location, completes newly assembled automobiles from new old stock (NOS) parts, original gear manufacturer (OEM) and reproduction parts on a &quotmade to order&quot basis utilizing existing Car Identification Quantity (VIN) plates.

Future Music Festival, Randwick, Sydney, Australia…


Today Sydney once again enjoyed one of the premiere Music Festivals to hit Australia – the Future Music Festival.


Randwick, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs was blasted by festival goers, and for the most part, the crowd was not disappointed.


The fest which attracted 50,000 fans, had a line-up that ranged from Psy to alt-indie rockers The Stone Roses.


Industry talk as some folks questioned the use of the phrase "future music" for bands who had found fame and success decades ago, including The Stone Roses and The Prodigy, despite both acts being strong drawcards for many fans at the event.


There were plenty of other hot acts on the marquee included Rita Ora, Australian band The Temper Trap and Avicii.


Well done to everyone involved in the success of this years Future Music Festival.

FUTURE MUSIC FESTIVAL 2013 – SYDNEY

Royal Randwick Racecourse, NSW

Sat 09 Mar, 2013


AVICII

ANNOUNCED AS THE EDM HEADLINER AT THIS YEAR’S FUTURE MUSIC FESTIVAL!!


Future Entertainment can now officially confirm that chart-topping Swedish superstar and worldwide phenomenon Avicii has been added to the already monumental line-up for this year’s Future Music Festival in March!


Set to bring his massive production to the headlining spot of the EDM stage at this year’s Future Music Festival, 2x Grammy award nominee Avicii has certainly proved himself as the EDM force to be reckoned with since he exploded on to the scene in 2011. Put quite simply, in the relatively short time since we first heard his name, Avicii has accomplished more than most artists would dream of in an entire lifetime. And, at just 23 years of age, Avicii is just getting started!


Best known for his exquisite production skills, his prolific live performances and a string of international mega-hits including the worldwide phenomenon, ‘Levels’, (which conquered music charts worldwide racking up over 50 million YouTube views, and was declared David Guetta’s "Tune of 2011") Avicii is without a doubt one of the most in demand artists on the planet.

2012 saw the Swede skyrocket. Kicking the year off with the ‘House for Hunger’ tour, Avicii and manager Ash Pournouri donated a staggering million to the organization ‘Feeding America’, by doing a not-for-profit 27-stop tour of the U.S.


The year also saw him headline some of the world’s biggest music festivals including Coachella, Ultra Music (where he was joined on-stage by pop queen Madonna), Lollapalooza, Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland, Exit Festival, Creamfields, Mysteryland, Austin City Limits. He was also recently ranked as the second-most influential under-30 person in music by Forbes magazine.


Most recently, Avicii has launched the Avicii x You project which will see him collaborate with fans, producers and musicians from all over the world for his next single. All profits from the single will again go to the ‘Feeding America’ charity.


2013 will see this prodigal wiz-kid join the hallowed ranks of the Future Music Festival. The Day Of The Dead-Set Awesome is most certainly upon us and it’s set to be all the more awesome with Avicii onboard!


The unstoppable force that is Avicii will headline the EDM stage at this year’s Future Music Festivals alongside fellow heavyweights Dizee Rascal, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, Madeon + many more.


The Future Music Festival 2013 pinata has officially popped!


It’s the ‘Day Of The Dead-Set Awesome’ and this year Future Music Festival is set to rock your skulls off! We’ve been brewing something special, and full of more mind-blowing music than you can poke a cactus at… Future Music Festival 2013 is going to kick harder than a Tijuana donkey on peyote! Where else would you want to be? Our Casa is your casa muchacho!


With the most innovative and dynamic line-up to date, Future Entertainment is bringing you a curated arena and two super-sized main stages jam-packed with the hottest talent the world has on offer.


The Prodigy will give you the Warriors Dance Arena – an entire arena dedicated to hard-edged, and heavy bass driven music plus some of the world’s most cutting-edge dub-step acts. The stage is set to showcase why this band deserves every sense of credibility and admiration attached to their name. It’s going to be huge! Epic if you will. Joining them in the Warriors Dance Arena will be Boys Noize (Terminator-esque skull show! New album out this Friday), Feed Me Live (Live Teeth Show), FMF 2012 heroes Kill The Noize, Zeds Dead and Borgore. Another very welcome addition to the Warriors Dance Arena is international tastemaker and legendary DJ in his own right, Zane Lowe. This man has quite literally had a hand in the shaping careers of more than one of the artists on this line-up and has truly earned his stripes amongst the best. With each act as illustrious and defining as the next, be prepared… the Warriors are coming.


Fresh from breaking records for the fastest selling rock tour in UK history (220,000 tickets in 68 minutes!) the pioneers of alternative rock The Stone Roses are bringing their Manchester-borne reunion tour to Aussie shores. Joining them on the live front are fellow Brits Bloc Party. Returning to Australia for the first time since the release of their critically acclaimed new album Four they’ll be sending fans into an absolute frenzy as they make their debut Future Music Festival appearance.


In a move unlike any other, International sensation and K-Pop superstar PSY has also been added to the bill. The recent online obsession over his Gangnam Style video has turned the South Korean into a global phenomenon. His single has had in excess of 400 million youtube views and has reached the number 1 spot in 33 countries and counting! Arriving in Australia this Sunday, Psy will perform on X-Factor and share with a captive nation his EX-PSY-TMENT about debuting his live show at Future Music Festival 2013.


Off the back of a triumphant performance at the AFL Grand Final that saw their smash hit album Conditions soar back into a Top 10 position in the ARIA charts, our boys The Temper Trap will be showing the internationals how we hold our own. Adding a little more Oz to the concoction will be indie-rock wunderkinds Gypsy & The Cat – returning with a much anticipated new album mixed by superstar Dave Fridman (The Flaming Lips, MGMT) and a new single ‘Bloom’ which shot straight to number 5 on the world wide hype machine.


Expect things to get a little bonkers with UK powerhouse MC and festival must-have Dizziee Rascal back on the bill. Fellow countrymen DJ Fresh and Rudimental have also had extremely impressive years. With a string of hits and sold out shows to each of their names respectively, these live acts know how to get the party started. Period. Also along for the ride we give you the chart-topping New York pop-rockers Fun. And you better believe it will be!


This season, Future Music Festival has pulled together an array of the finest female talent on the planet. First up, hailing from Harlem, we have the hard-hitting, natural born lyricist Azealia Banks. With a much anticipated new album on the way, this provocative lady of the moment is all set to deliver a hot and heavy set featuring tracks from her hit EP ‘1991’. Next up, Rita ‘This Is How We Do’ Ora will be taking to the stage. With no less than 3 number 1 UK hits under her Alexander Wang belt and a slew of burgeoning international praise, 2013 is all about Rita’s Ora! On the topic of UK sensations, Ellie Goulding will be making her much-awaited Australian festival debut. Rounding off an almost perfect female contingent are the ever-impressive Aussies (and Future Music favourites), Nervo.


If ever there was an EDM all-star line-up, to end all other line-ups, this would undoubtedly be it. FMF 2013 brings you electronic icons Steve Aoki, A-Trak (Live), Madeon and Hardwell. The EDM A-Team has officially landed.


The undisputed heavyweight champion of underground and heralded king of Ibiza, Sven V th will be bringing his Cocoon Heroes concept down under for the first time. Returning for his 5th performance on FMF, V th will head up the strongest techno line-up in Future Music history. We kid you not. Cocoon Heroes will showcase fellow techno-titans Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Seth Troxler and Magda. Featuring full lights and production, Cocoon Heroes will boast all of the elements that make this the best event on the white island each summer, and much, MUCH more!


Trance-a-holics can look forward to riding every bone-tingling breakdown and build-up as we announce Wake Your Mind! Curated by none other than trance visionaries Cosmic Gate the Wake Your Mind stage will feature vocalist Emma Hewitt, W&W, tyDi, Super 8 & Tab and Ben Gold.


Last, but by no means least Australia’s very own The Stafford Brothers, Timmy Trumpet, Tenzin and Bombs Away will once again join the hallowed ranks. Hold on to your margaritas – these Aussies are LOCO!! Party time? Excellente.


What is now a rite of passage for all music lovers, Future Music Festival is back! The Day Of The Dead-Set Awesome is upon us. This is the festivale de m sica futuro…Taco Taco muchachos!

Nice Prototype Manufacturing Organization pictures

Some cool prototype manufacturing company photos:


Endurance


Image by . SantiMB .

This is a specimen of Montesa Impala (legendary spanish motorbike) that I have discovered in the garage exactly where I hold the automobile. It is in ideal state in spite of its antiquity, and that demonstrates that it perfectly fulfills the objective of his existence: endurance.


I dedicate this photo to a operate mate that, even though she is not registered in Flickr, she visits my photos frequently, and for days it has been releasing new moto.


I have taken many images, with diverse angles, with and without having flash, HDR, Orton… and ultimately I select this one particular without having flash, that she is the a single that better represents what is this machine. Following see it time and once again, I have decided to do a cutout with partial desaturation for eliminate the colours of the wall and the floor, and leave only the red and yellow colours of the bike.


Montesa Honda is now the Spanish subsidiary of Honda, which assembles numerous models of motorcycles, bicycles, and components at its Barcelona plant. The firm exports 75 per cent of its production to the rest of Europe.


Formed in 1944 by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Xavier Bultó, the first Montesa prototype was constructed primarily based upon the French Motobécane models of that time. Powered by a 93cc two-stroke engine with no rear suspension 22 of these units had been sold in the very first year and so promising did the market place seem that Permanyer and Bulto formulated their partnership. As a successor to the preceding model, Senor Bulto made a new 125cc roadster, which was tested in numerous trail variety rallies and semi-enduros that were well-liked in Spain at the time.


In 1961 Leopoldo Milá was working intensively on the &quotImpala&quot project. 1 of the fundamentals of the project was to assure the top quality and reliability of the product, and that is why it was required to topic the prototypes to tough, exhaustive testing.


Along the way the thought arose to make a motorcycle crossing of Africa, from north to south, where the most attempting conditions have been insured. The strategy was risky and ambitious. Five volunteers speedily appeared to make the trip: Oriol Regás, Tey Elizalde, Enrique Vernis, Rafael Marsans and Manuel Maristany.


Crossing Africa by motorcycle, from Capetown to Cairo, beneath the circumstances of the time, was an adventure of epic proportions. The media covered the event really closely.

3 &quotImpala&quot prototypes had been painstakingly ready, and, in the firm of a back up Land-Rover, the adventure kicked off on 15 January 1962. For the duration of 1000 days, and crossing 20,000 kilometres, no higher troubles arose than a couple of minor incidents that cropped up along the way in inhospitable nations, through forests and plains, with out roads and facing a myriad of risks of all types.


The style tips of Leopoldo Milá had been confirmed and the final project was a complete good results. The new Montesa &quotImpala&quot earned from the very first moment onward main technical, industrial and sports accomplishment. An instance for design and style was also set which has not been invalidated with the passing of time.


You can nonetheless see &quotImpalas&quot being driven on the streets of Barcelona, which is some thing entirely unusual provided that they had been created in 1961. Young motorcycle drivers still nowadays compete with each other for the acquire of these models as if they were precious jewels. The Montesa &quotimpala&quot was awarded the ADI-FAD prize for the very best industrial style in 1962. At that time the business had 460 personnel on the payroll, and production of 11,000 units per year.


The reigning industrial notion of the time was that of hugely integrated manufacturing: foundry perform, presses, welding, full mechanisation of the engine, painting, and assembly …The models manufactured simultaneously in the sixties were the &quotImpala&quot, the &quotImpala Sport&quot, &quotComando&quot, and production for the initial time was begun for the assembly line production of a Moto-Cross bike (the &quotImpala Cross&quot 175 and 250-cc.), essentially for export. A new model primarily based on a very sophisticated notion for the time was also launched: the 4-speed 60-cc scooter named the Montesa &quotMicroscooter&quot.

Alvis Speed 25

in Wikipedia


Alvis cars have been created by the manufacturer Alvis Auto and Engineering Business Ltd of Coventry, United Kingdom from 1919 to 1967. The business also made aero-engines and military autos, the latter continuing long soon after auto production ceased.


Beginnings


The original firm, TG John and Co. Ltd., was founded in 1919. Its 1st items had been stationary engines, carburettor bodies and motorscooters. The company’s founder T.G. John was approached by Geoffrey de Freville with styles for a four-cylinder engine with aluminium pistons and pressure lubrication, unusual for the period. Some have recommended that de Freville proposed the name Alvis as a compound of the words &quotaluminium&quot and &quotvis&quot (meaning &quotstrength&quot in Latin) although de Freville himself vigorously denied this theory. Probably the name was derived from the Norse mythological weaponsmith, Alvíss, but the accurate origin is unknown.


The initial automobile model, the 10/30, making use of de Freville’s style was an immediate accomplishment and set the reputation for top quality and efficiency for which the firm became famous. Following complaints from the Avro aviation company whose logo bore similarities to the original winged green triangle, the far more familiar inverted red triangle incorporating the word ‘Alvis’ evolved. In 1921, the firm changed its name and became the Alvis Car and Engineering Company Ltd. and moved production to Holyhead Road, Coventry where from 1922 to 1923 they also created the Buckingham vehicle.


In 1923 Captain GT Smith-Clarke joined from Daimler as Chief Engineer and Works Manager and was quickly joined by WM Dunn as Chief Draughtsman. This partnership lasted for 25 years and was accountable for generating some of the most effective merchandise in the company’s history.

The original 10/30 side-valve engine was created progressively becoming by 1923 the popular overhead-valve 12/50, produced until 1932 and one particular of the most effective vintage sports automobiles of all time. Exhilarating efficiency and rugged reliability meant that about 350 of these 12/50 hp automobiles and 60 of the later (and latterly concurrent) 12/60 hp survive today representing some 10 percent of total production.


1927 saw the introduction of the six-cylinder 14.75 h.p. and this engine became the basis for the long line of luxurious six-cylinder Alvis cars made up to the outbreak of war. Not only have been these cars really sophisticated but they were full of technical innovations. Independent front suspension and the world’s 1st all-synchromesh gearbox came in 1933 followed by servo assisted brakes. A front wheel drive model was introduced (from 1928 to 1930), a model bristling with innovation with front wheel drive, in-board brakes, overhead camshaft and, as an choice, a Roots variety supercharger.


Smith-Clarke developed remarkable models for the duration of the 1930s and 1940s — which includes the handsome, low-slung six-cylinder Speed 20, the Speed 25 (considered by many to be one of the finest vehicles produced in the 1930s) and the 4.3 Litre model. As with several upmarket engineering companies of the time Alvis did not produce their personal coachwork relying alternatively on the many obtainable Midlands coachbuilders such as Cross and Ellis, Charlesworth and Vanden Plas. Several vehicles also survive with really exotic one particular-off bodywork from other designers. In 1936, the company name was changed to Alvis Ltd and by the beginning of the war, aero-engine and armoured automobile divisions had been added to the organization.


Planet War Two


In September 1939 following the outbreak of war vehicle production was suspended, but was later allowed to resume and production of the 12/70, Silver Crest, Speed 25, and 4.three Litre continued properly into 1940. Throughout Planet War II the auto factory was severely damaged in the German Luftwaffe raid on Coventry in 1940 though strangely the armaments factory emerged fairly unscathed. Much valuable gear cutting and other equipment was lost and car production was suspended for the duration of the war only resuming for the duration of the latter part of 1946. Despite this, Alvis carried out war production on aero engines (as sub-contractor of Rolls-Royce) and other aeroplane gear.


Post war


Automobile production resumed with a 4-cylinder model, the TA14, based on the pre-war 12/70. A solid, reputable and eye-catching automobile, the TA14 fitted well the mood of sober austerity in post war Britain, but significantly of the magic attaching to the potent and sporting pre-war models had gone and life was not easy for a specialist car manufacturer. Not only had Alvis lost their car factory but several of the prewar coachbuilders had not survived either and these that had have been swiftly acquired by other producers. In reality, the post war history of Alvis is dominated by the quest for reliable and reasonably priced coachwork.


Smith-Clarke himself retired in 1950 and Dunn took more than as chief engineer. In 1950 a new chassis and six-cylinder three litre engine was announced and this highly profitable engine became the basis of all Alvis models till production ceased in 1967. Saloon bodies for the TA21, as the new model was named, again came from Mulliners of Birmingham as they had for the TA14, with Tickford creating the dropheads. But with the first of these becoming part of Normal Triumph and the second becoming acquired by Aston Martin Lagonda, it was clear by 1954 that new arrangements would have to be made. By this time some of the most original and gorgeous styles on the three litre chassis had been becoming produced by master coachbuilder Hermann Graber of Switzerland and indeed these 1-off designed cars are hugely sought soon after today. With a licence in spot, from 1955 all Alvis bodies became based on Graber styles. Early examples, the TC108/G, were built by Willowbrook of Loughborough but at such a higher price tag that very handful of had been created. Only soon after 1958 with the launch of the TD21 did one thing resembling complete scale production resume as Park Ward, coachbuilders for Rolls-Royce and Bentley, contracted to create the bodies at a much decrease value. These automobiles, the TD21 and its later variants, the TE21 and finally the TF21 are well built, attractive and quick cars. Nonetheless it was clear by the mid sixties that with a price tag of almost double that of the mass created Jaguar the end could not be far off.

There had been several ‘might-have-beens.’ From 1952 to 1955 Alec Issigonis, the creator of the later Mini worked for Alvis and created a new model with a V8 engine which proved too high-priced to produce.


Rover took a controlling interest in Alvis in 1965 and a Rover-created mid-engined V8 coupé prototype named the P6BS was rumoured to be the new Alvis model but with the takeover by British Leyland this also was shelved. By the time the TF21 was launched in 1966, (obtainable, like its predecessors in each saloon and drophead kind and with either manual or automatic gearbox), the model was beginning to show its age despite a top speed of 127 mph – the fastest Alvis ever produced. With only 109 sold and with political troubles aplenty in the UK automobile manufacturing company at that time, production lastly ceased in 1967. In 1968, a management buyout was finalised and all the Alvis design plans, buyer records, stock of components and remaining staff have been transferred to Red Triangle. The Alvis name lived on with armoured fighting automobile production.


Modern


Primary article: Alvis plc


As portion of Rover, Alvis Restricted was incorporated into British Leyland but was purchased by United Scientific Holdings plc in 1981. Subsequently the company’s name changed to Alvis plc. In 1998, the armoured automobile enterprise of GKN plc was taken on and the primary UK manufacturing operation moved from Coventry to Telford. The website of the Alvis operates in Holyhead Road is now an out-of-town buying complex, but its name, Alvis Retail Park, reflects the heritage of the web site.

In 2002 Alvis group purchased Vickers to type the subsidiary Alvis Vickers Ltd which was subsequently bought by BAE Systems in 2004. BAE Systems ended the use of the Alvis distinctive ‘red triangle’ trademark.

In 2009, Red Triangle negotiated the legal transfer of the Alvis vehicle trademarks and in 2010 announced the very desirable 4.3-Litre Short Chassis tourer would as soon as again be accessible. All Alvis’ records stay intact at the company’s Kenilworth headquarters along with a huge stock of period parts. Amazingly, one of the guys to have worked on the extremely final Alvis auto created in 1967 is still retained by the firm in a education capacity.


Constructed to the original plans, the new vehicle has been named the ‘Continuation Series’ to reflect the 73-year interruption in its production between 1937 and 2010. It differs only in detail from the pre-war examples: for emissions, the engine is governed by an Electronic Fuel Injection program with electric ignition, brakes are hydraulic rather than cable, the steering column collapsible and the rear light arrangement reconfigured to conform to modern requirements.
