the Mother of all SS & Jaguar automobiles

• 

Not in a museum. Not at a show. Yet quietly parked in the center of Amsterdam and spotted by art-director Bert Tressel: a Swallow Sidecar. The bridge between our car showroom and motorcycle shop. Yes, motorcyclists tend to forget that. But for other reasons then Jaguar drivers tend to forget the same simple fact. These simple lightweight sidecars are the basis of the supercar imperium that we all know so well. The sidecar shown here is not one of the earliest, but probably a mid thirties model. Check Jag-Lovers.org for reference. After having checked the Sidecar, proceed to the Swallow car section of this amazing website. You probably all know about the Austin with Swallow coachwork. But did you know about the Swift, The Wolseley and about the ....Fiat? Don't waste you time here and go browse a few brochures. Now in case you have one (or more) of these pre-Jag Swallow cars sagging in your backyard or as a basket case in the attick of a barn, you may consider to send an e-mail to Tom Zwakman of Zwakman Motors. He is seriously interested to buy any four wheeled Swallow. With or without chromed cats upfront. (photo Bert Tressel; click for non-cat 'hood' ornament)
