FOREWORD
This book has been compiled in order to assist the Swallow-Doretti Sports Car
owner to obtain a proper understanding of the general construction of the car
and to form a correct appreciation of its day-to-day needs.
Where possible the use of technical terms has been avoided so that the ordinary
car owner can assimilate the important information
given here easily and
quickly.
We cannot stress too much the importance of reading through
the contents of this book before any extensive use of the car is con-
templated.
Correct lubrication, regular inspection, proper upkeep and
adjustments are all necessary if the owner-driver is to obtain the best from his
car and maintain a high standard of efficiency. Information on these matters is
to be found in this book, together with sectionalised drawings, tables and
photographs of vital details.
The reader will find some notes on decarbonising and valve grinding. These
have been included for the benefit of those owners who possess the facilities
and experience for doing this work themselves. To the less experienced,
however, we strongly recommend that it be carried out by a competent'
mechanic, preferably an accredited Swallow-Doretti agent.
If any difficulty is encountered in connection with the running of the
car or its general efficiency we strongly urge the owner to contact one
of the local Swallow-Doretti agents, preferably the one who supplied
the car, who being thoroughly conversant with the details and running
of the car, will be able to detect the cause of the trouble quickly and
effect a suitable remedy.
We would like to emphasise that all Swallow-
Doretti agents are carefully chosen to ensure that they can provide the high
standard of workrnanship necessary for a proper after-sales service.
Finally, when ordering spare parts we would like owners to quote, in addition
to the car commission number, the engine number and a brief description of
the part required.
We have no doubt that your Swallow-Doretti will give you many years of
faithful service if you act on the advice which our technical department has
provided in this book.
