The VA tourer was announced at the 1936 Motor Show. It was based on the same chassis and engine as the Saloon and Tickford. The bodies were made by Morris Bodies, thereby keeping the whole project in-house.
The SVW range, all of which had four seats, were catering to the family man, who used to have a two seater sports car, and now needed more seating capacity. The VA Tourer retained the sports car feel, and yet allowed the family to be accommodated as well. A contemporary write-up by The Motor 6th July 1937 states: "There is an air of refinement throughout the whole car. It is beautifully finished, very well upholstered with good quality leather, and thoroughly equipped. The hood folds and drops into a recess behind the rear seats, the whole of the rear compartment and recessed hood being covered by a tonneau cover. The dashboard, in which the various dials with brass covered surrounds are let into a walnut panel, assumes a rather nautical aspect but one that is pleasing to the eye.

This example was totally restored by a marque and model specialist, and is in excellent condition. These cars are exceptionally rare, and could have an interesting future.
