Merge request[edit]

Upon reading the article Swift Racing Cars it appears obvious that this is the same company as Swift Engineering. The difference being the former article has a stronger British slant and the later more American, and while at one point the two sides of the operation were split, the condition and length of the two articles leaves me to believe that separate articles are not justifiable. --Falcadore (talk) 03:09, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Falcadore Swift Engineering is a separate race car manufacturing company to Swift Racing Cars Ltd. As an ex-director of the latter, I can confirm that they were not the same company and had no contact with each other whatsoever. I therefore have to suggest that the two entries are not combined Happyzone3399 (talk) 12:28, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And yet Swift Engineering's website appears to be claiming results achieved by Swift Racing Cars as theirs? --Falcadore (talk) 23:07, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As a former employee of Swift Engineering in the USA, I can also confirm the two companies are not and have never been related. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.211.194.69 (talk) 06:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additional sources[edit]

I'm starting this section to create a list of sources that may be useful to enhance this article. In particular the early history of the company and it's involvement with FF is limited. The DB1 car gets very limited coverage in the article but it was the product that launched the company. It was also one of the most influential cars in motorsports history as it all but obsoleted all other FF cars overnight.

COI tag[edit]

@BilCat:, could you explain the COI tag on the article? I think this article needs help but I don't see the COI issue. Springee (talk) 02:35, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's in reference to User:Masahiro007, a contributor who name is derived from that of the company's founder. The user added the promotional navbox which I've nominated for deletion. BilCat (talk) 02:44, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that if Masahiro007 is involved with the company that is a problem. However, I don't think Masahiro is a founder (Bruns, Cross, Smith or White). Springee (talk) 02:59, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, CEO, not founder. BilCat (talk) 03:08, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
