The Swallow Sidecar company started business in the twenties, they later expanded into cars under the SS name- changed to Jaguar after the war. For some reason in 1946 they also introduced the Gadabout scooter- about the same time the Vespa was introduced.
Power was provided by a Villiers 125 cc engine, giving a top speed of about 35 mph. It was not that successful, about 2000 were made in total.

I had a friend with something similar, we spend a Sunday afternoon filing down the aluminum cylinder head in an attempt to increase its power so it could climb as modest hill. It worked for a bit...
Would that have been a Salisbury? I should have bought one when they were cheap.
Hi
Is your friend seller of its Garabout?
