Gaydon, British Motor Museum : Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust
This particular Austin Seven Swallow is of unique interest. It is the oldest known survivor, and is thought to be one of only three cars preserved from the Blackpool production.
It was acquired for the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in the 1980s and was extensively restored in 1993, to, as near, original condition as possible. The original engine had sadly been lost many years before and the car is now fitted with a slightly later engine, dating to 1930.
While the Swallow Sidecar Company had been founded in Blackpool in 1922 to make motorcycle sidecars, within a few years the company took on coachbuilding work under the direction of the young and ambitious William Lyons.
By 1926, the company had become the Swallow Sidecar & Coach Building Co Ltd, and Lyons decided to make his own special-bodied car. In common with many other specialist coachbuilders, he based his product on the chassis of Britain’s best-selling small car, the Austin Seven.
In January 1927, an Austin Seven chassis was obtained through a dealer in Bolton, and in May of that year, the finished car – the first motorcar to be produced by the company – was described in The Autocar. Originally the intention was to fit the car with a detachable folding hard top but this proved to be impractical, and the cycle-type wings of the first car also had to be changed to ordinary flowing wings.
Soon after, Lyons was given a contract by the London motor trader Henlys for no less than 500 Austin Seven Swallows – at the rate of twenty-five per week. However, the maximum number that could be built in the Blackpool factory was fourteen cars per week. The consequence was that Lyons decided to move his company to new premises in Coventry, in the heartland of the motor industry, and the move took place in November 1928.

I will probably tweak this a little bit to perfect it (especially after I see a first print) but I am pretty happy with this as the layout and concept!
Lanhydrock is an impressive historic house in Cornwall. Built of local grey slate and granite around an inner courtyard, the house dates to 1640, though most of the current building was the result of rebuilding after a fire in 1881. Survivors from the earlier house are the impressive gatehouse, the 2-story porch, and north range, with a 116 foot long gallery.
Within the gallery is a superb 17th century plasterwork ceiling, illustrating scenes from the Old Testament mixed with depictions of unusual beasts.
Lanhydrock was the property of the Robartes family from 1620 to 1969, when the estate passed to the National Trust. The house is huge, and 50 rooms are open to visitors. The Trust has recreated the atmosphere of an Edwardian country house at Lanhydrock, and the restored kitchen and servant's quarters make a distinctive contrast with the glittering family rooms. A further contrast is provided by the children's nursery rooms.
