Sorry I don't have a photo, but my Dad had a 1923 Swift of Coventry. Could hold a dance in the back seat. 3 speed gate change lever between the driver's door and the steering wheel -- make it a bit awkward getting in and out, but with not having synchromesh on the gears, it made for a good introoduction to matching revs to speed when changing up, and having to double de-clutch when changing down. Then there was the throttle and magneto advance levers on the steering column. 4 cylinder flat head 1000 cc engine with enough torque to climb a wall in first.
