Lot 933
A 1914 Swift Cyclecar.
Reg No. W 3150.
Car No. 1304.
Engine No. E5473.
Grey with brown interior.
Exploiting the fashion for cyclecars in the pre-WWI period, Swift replaced their single-cylinder 7hp car with the twin-cylinder 972cc engine. Featuring thermos-syphon cooling, magneto ignition, leather to metal clutch, three forward and a reverse gear, plus a live axle.
A delightful example from the cyclecar era, it was purchased by the vendor in 2013 having received much restoration work. Rarely used, the car remains in excellent condition but will need recommissioning before use on the road. It should be noted that the V5C mistakenly records the date of first registration as 1921.
