FactMid-1935 is the exact split between SF and SG: same body, but Alvis stretched the stroke to 110mm for a bigger 2,362cc engine making 66bhp — everything else, even the top speed, stayed put.
After the Speed 20 and Crested Eagle had established themselves, Alvis presented another Silver Eagle in 1934: the SF took the wheelbase and engine of the TB, the length increased to 4,255 mm and width to 1,588 mm, fed again by three SU carburettors, with a top speed now of 75 mph. In mid-1935 the SF was replaced by the SG with the same body but a 110 mm stroke giving 2,362 cc and 66 bhp at 4200 rpm, the top speed unchanged; in 1936, after production of some 2,690 examples of the series, it was replaced by the Silver Crest.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Alvis split the Silver Eagle in two: the wide SA was built for comfort, but the narrower SD got a smaller engine on purpose — sized to compete in the era's popular 16 hp (2-litre) racing class.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Simca beat Fiat to market by three months with what was essentially Fiat's own Topolino design.
The Simca 1000 began at Fiat: Simca boss Henri Pigozzi picked one of six boxy clay models from Fiat's "Project 122".
The last Simca 1000 ever built, the 1978 Rallye 3, was also the rarest — just 1,000 were made in the model's final year, a quiet send-off for a car that had sold nearly two million.
To drum up buzz at launch, Simca briefly swapped 50 of its Paris taxi fleet's Ariane sedans for tiny new 1000s, making the little car a familiar sight on the capital's streets.
The PL 17's name is a sum: 5 fiscal horsepower, 6 seats, 6 litres per 100 km, kept a digit below the Citroën DS 19's.
The humble Tagora spawned a one-off concept, the Présidence, decked out with Connolly leather and electronics way ahead of 1981 — a built-in telephone, dictaphone, text-message receiver and a TV with VCR.
Talbot fed the Tagora's V6 old-fashioned triple carburettors instead of fuel injection — and the extra power briefly made it the most powerful French car on sale. Only 1,083 were ever built.
Switching the 96 from a two-stroke to a Ford V4 was such a closely guarded secret that Saab invented a fake company, Maskinverktyg AB, just to buy the new engine's parts without its own purchasing department finding out.
