My father's first car was a SWIFT but I don't know which manufacturer made it.

If I recal correctly Kayakebab the 3-wheelers could be driven on a motor cyscle licence if the reverse gear had been physically removed!

After the Cortina my Dad got one of these, Vauxhall Victor Estate, bench seats, column shift and fake metal side panels that were supposed to look like wood. His was a maroon colour and was his pride and joy

Correct Bewva.  Kieth, the manta used the same body a few years later.
