This is a Special built on the basis of a Speed 25 chassis and equipped with 2.5 liter Crested Eagle 19.82 Alvis (Speed 20) engine with compressor. The Alvis was built by Olaf P.

The car has English registration 'BAX 698' issued by the Monmouthshire County Council between September 1936 and March 1937.

Mr. Olaf Lund, together with his son, has built a number of Specials and has adapted a good number of cars. In the Alvis database, the Alvis BAX 698 is listed as Speed 20/25 Special.
