Die Swift Cycle Company wurde 1896 in Coventry gegründet. Sie übernahm die Geschäfte des Nähmaschinen- und Fahrradherstellers Coventry Machinists Company. Direktoren waren Randolph Churchill, Walter H. Seagreave, Charles Wisdom Hely, Harvey Du Cros, Alfred Du Cros und Richard Lee Philpot. Sie stellen Fahrräder her. 1898 kamen Motorräder und Motordreiräder dazu. 1900 erschienen ein Quadricycle und ein richtiges Automobil.[2] Der Produktionsumfang bis 1902 blieb gering. Von 1912 bis 1914 wurde ein Kleinwagen gefertigt, der als Cyclecar bezeichnet wurde,[1] wobei unklar bleibt, ob er die Kriterien für Cyclecars erfüllte.
1902 wurde die Swift Motor Company als Unterabteilung für Kraftfahrzeuge gegründet.[3] Sie stellte bis 1919 Autos her. Motorräder entstanden bis 1915.[4]
1919 schlossen sich Swift Cycle Company und Swift Motor Company zu Swift of Coventry zusammen.[5] 1930 wurden finanzielle Probleme bekannt. Im April 1931 wurde das Unternehmen liquidiert.[5] In dem Jahr endete die Fahrzeugproduktion.[6]
Im Angebot standen Autos mit Ein-, Zwei-, Drei- und Vierzylindermotoren. Die Motoren kamen bis 1907 von Motor Manufacturing Company, De Dion-Bouton, Ateliers de Construction Mécanique l’Aster und White & Poppe. Der erste eigene Motor ist für 1905 überliefert. Das letzte Modell von 1931 hatte einen Vierzylindermotor von Coventry Climax mit 56 mm Bohrung, 86 mm Hub und 847 cm³ Hubraum.[7]
