The car was available in four door Saloon and drophead versions. The bodies style was essentially the same as the TA 21, one of the differences was the fitting of chrome plated window surround on the doors. The saloon bodies were made for Alvis by Mulliners in Birmingham and the dropheads by Tickford.

The 2993 cc engine was upgraded to produce convert|100|bhp|abbr=on by modifying the cylinder head and fitting twin SU carburettors.

The TC21/100 or Grey Lady was a further upgrade with wire wheels and engine compression ratio raised from 7:1 to 8:1. The final drive ratio was also raised from 4.09:1 to 3.77:1. Front fog lamps were also a standard fitting and the bonnet gained air scoops. A heater was fitted as standard but the radio was an option.
