- Alvis appears in the "Evacuate!" level of the "Guthix Awakens" campaign, alongside dwarven leaders Korick and Velenki. The dwarves aid the player in fighting Bandosian forces in what is now the western Wilderness. Given that the God Wars ended more than 2,000 years ago, Alvis is presumably deceased.

- The original company, T.G. John and Company Ltd., was founded in 1919 by Thomas George John (1880 – 1946). Its first products were stationary engines, carburetors and motorscooters. Following complaints from the Avro aircraft company whose logo bore similarities to the original winged green triangle, the more familiar inverted red triangle incorporating the word "Alvis" evolved. On December 14, 1921, the company officially changed its name to The Alvis Car and Engineering Company Ltd. Geoffrey de Freville (1883 – 1965) designed the first Alvis engine and is also responsible for the company name.
