The Alvis TB 14 is a British two-seater open car that was produced by Alvis cars, based on the running gear of the TA 14 saloon, and made only in 1950.
Alvis contracted AP Metalcraft, a Coventry coachbuilder, to produce the two-door open car body to fit on the TA 14 chassis. The doors are rear-hinged and have deeply cut-away tops. The car has very long, sweeping front wings and a fold-down windscreen. The radiator grille was controversial, being pear-shaped, with the bottom side bulges concealing the headlights which consequently were a long way from the sides of the car. The front sidelights were mounted in the bumpers. Both right and left hand drive versions were made.Template:Fact

The TA 14 suspension was retained, with its non-independent leaf springing all round. As the car is lighter than the TA 14, the final drive ratio was changed from 4.875:1 to 4.3:1, helping to increase the top speed and improving economy.[2]
