The Alvis Silver Eagle was a series of six-cylinder passenger cars made by Alvis, first from 1930 to 1931 as the successor to the 14.75, and again from 1934 to 1936. Every model had an inline six with overhead valves and rigid axles on longitudinal leaf springs, and was offered as a tourer, roadster, saloon or convertible. The SA of 1930 had a 2,148 cc engine of 72 bhp and suited comfortable bodies, while the narrower SD with 1,991 cc suited sportier ones and the 2-litre racing class. The TB and SE replaced them in 1931 on a longer wheelbase, and the SF of 1934 added three SU carburettors for about 75 mph.
