There will be a day you'll be sick of your Honda, Opel, Peugot or Nissan....
There will be a day, you'd like to crush any 4x4 getting on your path...
There will be a day you need something better... and bigger...
something like...
the Alvis Stalwart...
It's BIG... It's BAD... it's a 6x6 that comes with a monsterous 6,522 cc - 8 cylinder petrol-engine that produces 220 bhp... and a massive torque!
100 % good old British engineering! Thrustworthy and meant to go beyond the regular roads. And just look at that cargo-area! It can hold 5.000 kg of stuff... ideal for a DIY'er. And let's not forget the amphibious properties!
It does come with some minor quirks, like poor backward visibility, a massive size and hatches in the roof. Not to mention the non exsistent visibility in front of the wheels, but hey, what could stop this beast? Or worse, what could stop you?
But on the whole, our little test-drive trough Hamburg revealed it as a very practical car. People actually move aside as you near them!
The one and only true setback is the speed. We raced this bhp-monster at the local airfield, but Boeing does a slightly better job, when it comes to weight/power-ratio...
But if you want a potent, all British car with a very big "In-your-face"-factor, then the Alvis Stalwart is just the car for you... if you can afford the petrol for it that is...
Sincerely,
Jeremy Clarckson
