Chassis No.1020
Frank Crowe

Chassis No.1020 The partner to our TR3 in the garage is a 1954 Swallow Doretti, No.1020, which I have owned since March 2001 and it's now in the process of being resurrected after many years of storage. A Doretti shares most of the drive train of a Triumph TR2. The frame is chrome-moly steel tubing and the skin is aluminium. It is the 20th car out only 276 made. The car was raced in the Denver area in the 50's, restored in Southern California and shown in the early 60's. The second owner had some mechanical problems and never got "round tuit." It had been stored in a garage for 25 years and is slowly coming around. The car is mostly original, including the interior and the top (but the stitching in the top is rather fragile!)
