The Swallow Doretti was produced for only 2 years 1954-1955. It was built by Swallow Coachbuilding Co (of Jaguar fame). It was designed by Frank Rainbow (a gifted aeronautical engineer) and used Triumph TR2 mechanical components with an all aluminium body and a tubular steel frame. Only 276 were produced, production being stopped by the opposition as it was seen as a strong competitor for the XK140 Jaguar. This very rare 1954 Swallow Doretti has been restored from the ground up with tarmac rallying in mind. It has successfully competed in the Targa Tasmania and Classic Adelaide events winning its class and category in each. Fitted with a 2100cc engine, close ratio 4 speed gearbox with overdrive, later Triumph disc front brakes,and a limited slip differential. It also has a CAMS approved roll bar, racing harness seat belts, Terratrip, wood rim Lecarra steering wheel, adjustable brake bias and chrome wire wheels.This fabulous car is exciting to drive and is elegable for most historic motoring events around the world. This is a very special opportunity.
