Looking for pics similar to one I had many years ago.
It was a 1930 2 seater convertible, with a boat-tail and a bull nosed
radiator.
Lower than a std Austin 7. About the same hight as a Nippy.
The closest in appearance I've found is this one.

Similar doors but mine had separate bucket seats, a proper folding hood with 
detachable side windows, and a one piece windscreen. From the seats rearward 
though, it was totally different.
The boat tail had almost flat sides with a slightly rounded, wood framed 
fabric covered lid. A proper boot in effect, containing the spare wheel.
Seems a pretty rare model, as the only one I've ever seen is the one I had.
It was completely std, so I assume there must be others somewhere.
If someone has a pic, or can point me to one I'd appreciate it.
TIA.
Mike.

Might be worth contacting Le Riche in Jersey - they restore Swallows, and 
build very nice replicas based on the Ruby.
