ajs swallow sidecar

Post by vincentvv »

Hello all,

I encounterd a ajs 16m with a 500cc head on it with a sidecar of the brand named swallow. Does anybody know the model of this swallow sidecar? He wants to sell it for a verry reasonable price....

PYK 297 was last taxed in 2000 and is on the DVLA database as a 500cc solo.

Swallow have a very interesting history - Formed in 1922 then went through various stages of expansion (size and product range) produced Swallow cars and finally became the Jaguar Car Company.

Prewar, Jaguars were called SS (Swallow Sidecars) The name changed to Jaguar post conflict as the initials SS had acquired other connotations!

See you at " the Jampot" and we can talk about sidecars over a beer or two!
