Alvis

From 1919 through 1967, Alvis Car Company produced automobiles in the UK. However, they produced more than simply automobiles; they also produced aviation engines, armored cars, and other armored warfare vehicles. They were well-known for their fast sports cars and racing vehicles. After the business joined Rover in 1965, it stopped making cars, but it kept making armored vehicles. Alvis was acquired by British Leyland, then sold to United Scientific Holdings in 1982, which changed its name to Alvis plc.

Thomas George John created the initial firm, T.G. John and Company Ltd., in 1919. (1880–1946). Its first offerings were motor scooters, carburetors, and stationary engines. The more well-known inverted red triangle with the name "Alvis" arose as a result of objections from the Avro aircraft firm, whose emblem was similar to the initial winged green triangle. The Alvis Car and Engineering Company Ltd. became the official name of the business on December 14th, 1921. The first Alvis engine was created by Geoffrey de Freville (1883–1955), who also gave the firm its name.
