This 1967 Alvis Burns Special is the only one of its kind and will soon be offered alongside an array of classics, race and competition cars by Silverstone Auctions. It's fascinating history behind the unique Alvis starts in 1966, when businessman James Burn started work on creating a faster and better looking "export-only" Alvis for the US market. His vision of a V8-powered Alvis included replacing the 115hp straight-six engine with a 300hp 5.3-liter Corvette unit, heavily modifying the bodywork and lowering the roof line by several inches.
