Below the same entranceway in the mid 1930s with a nice new SS sports car on display. Note the Standard Swallow badge above the door (missing in the 1987 view). The company occupied the building from 1928 till 1951.
Dunlop bought the building in the fifties and in 2001 donated the door to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Museum. By the Google map view of the area (Swallow Road, Coventry), the building has likely now been demolished.
