The Alvis Three Litre Series IV, or TF 21, was the last car made by Alvis, announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966 and in production until 1967. Outwardly identical to the 1963 TE 21 it updated, it had some suspension changes and better organised instruments. Triple SU carburettors raised the 2,993 cc engine, first used in the 1950 TA 21, to 150 bhp, giving a top speed of 120 mph, with a choice of automatic or ZF five-speed gearbox, front coil springs, rear leaf springs, disc brakes all round and optional power steering. The TE 21 stayed available to special order until 1967, and in August 1967 Alvis announced that production of the Park Ward bodied car had ceased.
