1938/39 The only years they made them with the spare wheel mounted in the running board. That would be a SS (Swallow Swift) model. I can't quite tell from the photo if it is a 2.5 or 3.5 ltr. The view makes the bonnet look long enough to be a 3.5 ltr? There was also a 1.5 ltr. but the bonnet was much shorter.
How do I know all this you may ask. Well the 2.5 ltr was my fathers first car. It had been layed up over the war and didn't get (called up for war duty). He bought it in 1946 when I was 7 yrs old and kept it for 4 yrs. So I traveled many miles in a one just like that only it was a sort of maroon reddish colour. HAPPY DAYS.
As to the photo. Ilike it especially with the old posters/photos in the background.
CHEERS Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.
