A 1914 Swift 490cc 3.5hp 86mm x 85mm. I found this bike in a museum at Lands End. It is believed to be the only one in existence. Anyone else know of another one?
Hello, I have a restored 1914 TT model. There is a 1913 in Tasmania, an unrestored one in Sydney and a 1912/13 floating around in the U K. My one goes like the wind, cruising speed of 60 mph. I know of other bits and pieces here in N Z but not complete, missing barrels are the biggest problem.
Hi Richard. I have the Tasmanian one – now it’s here in Victoria. Want to get in touch through email?
The SWIFT pictured here is part of my late father’s collection and is actually at the Flambards Theme Park at Helston, Cornwall, along with another nine similar motorcycles.
Looks a quality machine.
Hi Roger. Very interesting. It looks like a great bike. Mine is a direct drive version, unlike your father’s which has a gearbox. Do you have any more photos or history of it? Paul.
I have just found an engine for one in last couple of days
