My Dad's first car had a UW registration. The 1929 M Type still survives but sadly doesn't get out much now!
Incidentally, the bird mascot is not a Swallow Coachworks item. Very few offered for sale are.
As an aside, there were no Mark 1 or 2 Swallow models. The late Donald Doughty (Austin Swallow Register founder) chose to adopt the nomenclatures as a convenient means of identifying early and later cars. Swallow Coachworks would announce new models at the annual London Motor Show.
