| Swan Motors invoice 14 March 1961 |
Swan Motors, 1628 Coventry Road, Yardley, Birmingham 26 were Austin, Standard and Triumph car dealers at the time of this invoice in 1961. Thanks to http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/bedford-dormobile.htm the source of the image of the invoice shown above.
I have records from my collection of dealer directories that Swan Motors held the Standard Triumph franchise in October 1955, 1959, August 1961 when they were said to be open 7 days a week, February 1965, September 1968, March 1970 until March 1972.
Swan Motors ran from the site for many years. At one point it ran a hire shop and I can remember hiring an engine crane from them back in the 1990's. For along time they offered MOT's.
A successor business called SAS Autos still has a connection with the old Leyland era in that it was a MG Rover dealer and is a XPart AutoService centre.
