1954 Swallow Doretti Navigation
After being sold by Jaguar, Swallow built 276 of these roadsters in 1954 and 1955 to fill the export gap between the Triumph TR2 and the Jaguar XK 120. Built with a 2-liter TR2 engine on a tubular chassis, two-thirds of these cars were exported. The Doretti name came from Dorothy Deen who imported the cars through Cal Sales and was an early participant in the Pebble Beach Concours.
