Alvis TE21 1964 - 1966
The Alvis TE21 (1964-1966) is an elegant British car combining classic engineering with luxury design. Here are some details about its braking and clutch systems:
Braking System:
The TE21 is equipped with disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. The front disc brakes provide improved stopping power, offering better performance at higher speeds and during long drives. These brake systems were commonly manufactured by British suppliers such as Girling and Lockheed during this era.
The rear drum brakes are typical for vehicles of this period, as they were cheaper to produce and sufficient for the braking needs of less performance-oriented cars. In later models, the rear discs were often offered as an upgrade or standard.
Clutch:
The Alvis TE21 uses a single diaphragm clutch. This clutch provides smooth power transfer and is relatively easy to operate. Clutch systems of this era were often manufactured by companies like Borg & Beck or Lockheed. The clutch construction contributes to the car's high driving quality by offering precise shifting performance.
The clutch system includes a pressure plate, a clutch disc, and a slave cylinder, which need regular maintenance and occasional replacement. Replacement parts for these components are still available, and owners of the TE21 can find repair kits and new parts with ease.
Overall, the TE21 is a car known for its excellent driving dynamics and comfort, supported by a well-functioning brake and clutch system that was advanced for its time.
