GENERAL INFO

Appearing in July of 1966, the 61B Alvis Stalwart was first packaged in an E4 NEW MODEL box. It shows the model with yellow cover, green hubs and what appears to be grey tires (which never existed on the actual model). This box can also be found without the NEW MODEL and also in E4R sub-type.

Two F2 boxes exist, all with “ALP” bottom lettering: first has blank end flap closers while the second one has “TM” on them.

E boxes are size 4, while F boxes are size 6.

RARITY

There is no rare box for this model, although the F boxes are a bit less common.
