The Alvis Car Company moved to a factory a short distance from this site in Common Lane in Kenilworth in 1968, and as Red Triangle Autoservices Ltd. provided support for all the Alvis models previously built at the original factory in Holyhead Road in Coventry, up to the cessation of production in 1967. The original factory in Coventry then made military vehicles until the late 1980's. The factory unit in the photo, originally occupied by another company, was refurbished in 2010, see earlier photo Image], and is now used as the showrooms for the new Alvis cars, which started production in 2009, specifically the 4.3 litre "Continuation Series" http://www.alviscars.co.uk/ (Information from Alvis website and private communication with another contributor)
