But they wouldn't have had TR3B motors. The last Swallow Doretti was built
in 1955, while the last Peerless GT to use the TRactor motor was built in
1959, both long before BL/Standard started the TSF series. The Peerless
design went on to become the Warwick as I recall, but I think it had a
different engine.

And perhaps more important is the fact that neither Swallow Doretti nor
Peerless (later Warwick) used complete rolling chassis from Standard-Triumph,
nor
were they given Triumph-style commission numbers (at least I don't think
they were).
