Such was the demand for the Austin Seven Swallows that Lyons was forced to move in 1928 from Blackpool to new premises in Coventry. Approximately 3,500 bodies of various styles were produced up until 1932, when Lyons started making complete cars under the SS cars marque. It was in part the success of the Swallows that laid the foundations of what was to become, by 1945, Jaguar Cars. The Swallow Saloon was a closed version of the Austin 7.
