The Swift Motor Company made Swift Cars in Coventry, England from 1900 until 1931. It grew progressively from James Starley's Coventry Sewing Machine Company, via bicycle and motorised cycle manufacture. The cars ranged from a single-cylinder car in 1900 using an MMC engine, through a Swift-engined twin-cylinder 7-horsepower car in 1904, and a 3-litre model in 1913. After WW1 a successful range was sold during the 1920s, but the Cadet of 1930 was their last vehicle as they could not compete economically with volume manufacturers such as Ford and Morris Motors.
