Commentary calls it a shooting brake, which in the commentator's posh clipped accent becomes "shooting brick". |

Alvis TA 14. At this time the purchase tax on cars costing over £1,000 was 66 2/3%. Commercial vehicles were tax exempt, quite a few Alvis, Lea Francis and similar chassis were bodied as shooting breaks, which were considered as commercial. The only snag was the speed limit applicable to such vehicles, 30mph. -- Last edit: 2016-06-30 23:13:04 |
