1930 Austin Seven Swallow
The Austin Seven Swallow is arguably the first Jaguar produced as it was designed, styled and built by William Lyons & William Walmsley at the Swallow Coachbuilding Company before it became Jaguar Cars shortly after World War II.
Production of their stylish cars began in the workshops of their Swallow Motor Company when Sir Herbert Austin launched the cheap and simple ‘Seven’ model to compete with the light cycle cars of the period.
This 1930 mark 1 Austin Swallow is very original – all the body panels , engine and transmission are from the original car. The interior was reupholstered in Leatherertte material as part of a major restoration carried out during the 1970s.
The car had remained with the same family and was dry stored, only used for displays and events until it was bought by the current owner after it had been laid up for 12 years following the passing of the previous owner.
The car was subsequently made roadworthy again and had flashing indicators fitted for safety in modern traffic conditions. The front bench seat has been moved back slightly in order to accommodate taller drivers.
Austin Seven Swallow models rarely come to market so this is a special opportunity.
