Visited Coventry Transport Museum a couple of weeks ago. Do you remember that
Jeremy Clarkson Motorworld (I think) where he bemoaned the loss of so many
British manufacturers and a list scrolled up the screen? How many were in
that list - 50? 100? At the entrance to the museum there is a listing of all
the motor, cycle and motor-cycle manufacturers that have been based in
Coventry at one time or another - 600! Part of the museum is on the site of a
motor factory right in the city centre, but this wasn't a factory for a single
manufacturer, but a series of bays down each side with a different
manufacturer in each one, probably 20 or 30.

... apparently there was a car company in Coventry (where else??) called
Swift from 1900-31...
