The Swallow Doretti is a British sports car built by the Swallow Coachbuilding Company of Walsall.

It consists of Standard-Triumph TR3 mechanicals in a chassis built by Tube Investments, clothed in glass fibre bodywork.

The Doretti was designed by Frank Rainbow a very competent and experienced engineer, who had worked for many years as a senior engineer at the Bristol Aircraft Company.

It was named after Dorothy Dean who provided a lot of the energy that made the Doretti and Triumph sports cars a major success on the American west coast
