Swallow Sidecar Company,〔The first of three trading names used by W Walmsley and W Lyons for their manufacturing business. They were in partnerships: * Swallow Sidecar Company 1922-1926 * Swallow Sidecar and Coachbuilding Company 1926-1927 * Swallow Coachbuilding Company 1927-1930 Then shareholders together in the limited liability company with the name * Swallow Coachbuilding Company Limited operating with effect from October 1930, liquidated in 1934 after the purchase of its business by SS Cars Limited 〕 Swallow Sidecar and Coachbuilding Company, and Swallow Coachbuilding Company were trading names used by Walmsley & Lyons, partners and joint owners of a British manufacturer of motorcycle sidecars and automobile bodies in Blackpool, Lancashire — later Coventry, Warwickshire — before incorporating a company to own their business which they named Swallow Coachbuilding Company Limited. Under co-founder William Lyons its business continued to prosper as SS Cars Limited and grew into Jaguar Cars Limited. The sidecar manufacturing business, by then owned by a different company, Swallow Coachbuilding Company (1935) Limited, was sold by Jaguar to an aircraft maintenance firm, Helliwell Group, in January 1946. ==Lyons and Walmsley== Swallow was founded by two friends, William Walmsley aged 30 and William Lyons then aged 20.〔At that time as a minor until he was 21 (later 18) Lyons was unable to enter a proper binding business contract without specific court approval under a law for the protection of young people〕 Their partnership became official on Lyons's 21st birthday, 4 September 1922. Both families lived in the same street in Blackpool, England. Walmsley had previously been making sidecars and bolting them onto reconditioned motorcycles. Lyons had served his apprenticeship at Crossley Motors in Manchester before moving to Blackpool Sunbeam dealers, Brown & Mallalieu, as a junior salesman.〔() (Retrieved 18 July 2007)〕 Their business partnership was known by three successive trading names: Swallow Sidecar Company, Swallow Sidecar and Coachbuilding Company, and Swallow Coachbuilding Company. In 1930 a limited liability company was incorporated to own their business. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swallow Sidecar Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
