Swift Caravans

BKS SB

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. Written by an acknowledged
expert in caravans, motorhomes and
holiday static caravans, this book is
an essential guide to a great British
manufacturing success story.
