1931 Invicta Low Chassis S-Type

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in July 2015.

It's the 1931 Invicta Low Chassis S-Type of Trevor Swete and has a 6-cylinder inline 4,467cc Meadows engine. The Invicta Company was founded by Noel Macklin and Oliver Lyle and produced cars from 1925 to 1935, and the company was wound-up in 1938. It is estimated that around 1,000 Invictas were produced in that time, and Trevor Swete's car is chassis #S79.

I took this photograph at the Village Hotel, Cheadle, Stockport, at the start of the Lancashire Automobile Club's Manchester to Blackpool Veteran & Vintage Car Run in June 1993.

It's a 1931 Invicta Low Chassis and the only information about it in the programme of the event is that it was entered by Malcolm Hoyle of Linthwaite, Huddersfield. Also known as the Invicta S-type and called the Low Chassis because the chassis was slung under the rear axle. It has a 6-cylinder inline 4,469cc engine.
