Description
In 1922, Williams Lyons and Williams Walmsley began production of their stylish sidecars in the workshops of their Swallow Motor Company.
At the same time, Sir Herbert Austin launched the cheap and simple 'Seven' model to compete with the light cycle cars of the period.
An Association was formed between Austin and the Swallow Sidecar Company and, although somewhat at arms' length, each firm benefitted from the association with the Swallow coachwork giving the Seven a fashionable air that wasn't available in house at Austin.
The first hand formed aluminium over wood Swallow Roadster bodies appeared on the Austin Seven chassis in 1927 with the two door saloon following in 1928.
The Swallow was known for its distinctive lines, colour schemes and bold, barrel like grill shell.
It's estimated that Swallow produced approximately 1700 saloon bodies.
With very few Austin Seven Swallow saloons remaining now, we are pleased to be able to offer one of these attractive and distinctive saloon...
