The Alvis TC 108G was a British sporting car made by Alvis between 1956 and 1958. Swiss coachbuilder Graber had made bodies for the TC 21 that were far more modern than the Mulliners standard, so Alvis bought the Graber style shown at the October 1955 Paris Motor Show for a new model. The bus builder Willowbrook of Loughborough was contracted to build the two-door, four-seat steel saloon body on a wooden frame, but it proved too expensive and few were sold. The 2,993 cc engine was uprated to 104 bhp. Park Ward took over the body contract and the TD 21 entered production in October 1958, and 31 chassis were recorded.
