Alvis Stalwart Restoration Project, Part 1.

Hiya and welcome to my video of the restoration of my Alvis Stalwart mk1 Amphibious load carrier.
This has been a bit of a ongoing project for around a year now, and these are just some of the highlights really that were filmed along the way which I thought may be of interest to some people.

Its taken a while to figure things out. I had never even seen one up close before buying one so I really didn't know what I was looking at and had to learn as we went.
The vehicle originally had a petrol engine in but that had been removed before it was purchased, so it was decided to put a diesel engine in instead, as they were a lot easier to get hold of and to run.

It was quite a thing to get another engine fitted and get running and we still have a lot to do to complete it. There may be some information in here of use to fellow restorers so I thought I would upload it so far as a Part 1.
This next summer is when the fun will really start as we are going to make sure its fully waterproof then try and swim the vehicle as they were originally intended !

Cheers for watching, there are another few videos of restoration projects on my channel if they are of any interest.
