This charming Swift Q-Type is a true survivor that impressively still comes with its distinctive original 100-year-old registration.

It is a 10HP ‘Chummy’ model, with the four-seat interior layout.

Almost unbelievably, it comes with the original instruction manual from back in 1924, and what the vendor describes as a “huge” history file dating back decades.

The Chummy body is finished in maroon with a black interior, and the four-cylinder engine has a capacity of 1097cc with a three-speed gearbox.

It is described as being in ‘good’ condition throughout, including the engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paintwork and interior.

Coventry-based Swift originally made sewing machines and bicycles, and began building cars in 1900.

The range developed from a single-cylinder model using a de Dion engine, building on this success with a model using a Swift-developed two-cylinder engine.

A range-topping 3.0-litre was introduced by 1913.

This Swift 10 was originally launched in 1914...
