The Speed 25 was announced in August 1936 for the 1937 model year, as a replacement for the Speed Twenty. The Speed Twentys 2.5-litre, 2.8-litre or 3.5-litre engines with four main bearings were replaced by the 4.3-litre and 3.5-litre Speed Twenty-Five with a strengthened newly designed six-cylinder in-line unit now with seven main bearings. The 3.5 litre claiming an output of 110 PS with a top speed close to 100mph. The engine featured a balanced clutch, flywheel and crankshaft to minimise vibration, with a cast iron cylinder head and aluminium pistons, all fed via a pair of electric fuel pumps with three SU carburettors. The chassis was fifteen inches longer than that of the Speed 20 with servo assisted braking.

Alvis did not make any of the bodies for the Speed 25. The cars were supplied in chassis form and firms such as Cross & Ellis (standard tourer) Charlesworth (standard saloon and Drop Head Coupé) as well as Vanden Plas, Lancefield, Offord and others would fit suitably elegant open touring or saloon car bodies, available as a 4 door Sports Saloon, 4 door Drop Head Coupe, a four seater Tourer, or various bespoke bodies.

The car was built on a heavy steel chassis with a substantial cross brace. With its sporty low slung aspect, all-synchro gearbox, independent front suspension and servo-assisted brakes, this was a fast, reliable and beautifully made car, although at almost £1000 it was not cheap.
