As of May, 2003, there were about 300 Swifts in the world: 62 built by Jan initially, 200 built in Linden, and the one-offs that CAT had built since the introduction (maybe a couple dozen). I know Peter did at least a couple more runs of steel frames after that, so there were maybe between 400 and 500 prior to Xootr.
