More commonly known as Jaguars first production car the Austin 7 Swallow. In 1928 the Swallow Sidecar company diversified from making motorcycle side cars to buying Austin 7 rolling chassis' and coach building the bodies of their design prior to retailing.

Mechanically the car runs and drives quite well but with scope to improve after minor works.

Pretty and stylish coachwork in original period colour scheme. Respectable condition with scope to improve.

Still carrying many original features, including the leather interior.

This saloon is a 1930 model that drives and runs. Good original interior and many correct parts but still work would be required to get it really nice. Records dating back to 1947 show it is a matching number vehicle.
