Swift caravans - Andrew Jenkinson

Starting in 1965, when Swift found success with its early models, this book follows the development of Swift Caravans to the present day, where it has grown into a multi-brand leisure vehicle producer. The author describes the early models, which became popular with distinctive features such as the tri-front window. By the early 1970s, the Swift name had
become
established
and
the
company
started
to
move
into
the
upper
clubman market with the introduction of the Corniche range.Continuing
into
the
1980s
with
a
spirit
of
innovation,
Swift
improved
its
designs
with wind-tunnel
technology
and
produced
lighter
tourers
alongside
the
manufacture
of coachbuilt
motorhomes.
The
company
continued
to
expand
with
the
acquisition
of Cotswold Coachcraft and later Sprite Leisure, Bessacarr, Ace, Award and Autocruise, plus a tie up with US Airstream travel trailers. The
author
also
covers
the
latest
developments
in
what
has
now
become
the
Swift Group,
including
further
brand
acquisitions
and
expansion
abroad.
