1927 Swift 2P

Description

No Reserve

Interesting Swift that's been nicely re-bodied with the rear part of an Austin 7; running example; reluctant sale; be different! 

Dating from 1927 this Swift 2P looks to have led an interesting life. Although little is known about the car’s early history, a note on file from the vendor suggests the car was converted from a commercial van body to what we see here.

Rescued by the previous owner, we understand the original van body had rotted out at the back end (it was largely timber) and was then treated to a partial re-body, cleverly utilizing an Austin 7 cabin on top of the original chassis which looks to have survived remarkably well.

The vendor tells us the car starts and runs, but 1^st gear might need attention (he believes it might be a damaged pinion) and boasts a more modern radiator which might benefit from a pump to aid circulation and cooling of what we believe to be the 1190cc four-cylinder side-valve engine.

It is only reluctantly offered for sale due to our vendor’s advancing years - at 87, he thinks he might be pushing it crawling around the underside of a vintage car.

Offered for sale without reserve, this unique car looks most appealing and will get people talking wherever it goes.
