It’s been more than 20 years since Red Triangle’s previous appearance as our Specialist – and there’s some catching up to do.
The firm continues to service Alvis cars from the site it has occupied since the demise of the Alvis company in 1968, using its vast stock of original and remanufactured parts.
But under new ownership there’s a new showroom – and, most significantly, the company is the engine room of the resurrection of Alvis as a car manufacturer.

Alan Stote bought the firm in 1994, and in ’09 started developing the 4.3 – a ’30s design – for Individual Vehicle Approval, with the hands-on work being done by Red Triangle.
Normal operations continue, servicing cars on six lifts, and there’s a rolling road and engine dyno, too.
But the method of control has changed, with each job now being tracked digitally.
Stote, whose background is in parts manufacture, has been passionate about Alvis since he bought his first in the ’80s.
