Asquith Motor Company
Asquith Motor Company Ltd. ist ein britischer Automobil- und Nutzfahrzeughersteller.
Geschichte
BearbeitenDas Unternehmen wurde im Juli 1981 als Asquith Motor Carriage Company Ltd. mit Unternehmenssitz in Great Yeldham gegründet. Am Anfang stand die Idee, noch erhaltene Exemplare des Austin 12 Van zu restaurieren. Eine zunehmende Anzahl an Bestellungen führte zum Entschluss, das Modell unter eigenem Markennamen neu aufleben zu lassen.
Das Unternehmen beschäftigte damals 30 Arbeitnehmer und stellte bis 1997 mehrere tausend Fahrzeuge her, die vorwiegend exportiert wurden. Steigende Herstellungs- und Entwicklungskosten sowie die Stornierung eines Großauftrags aus Japan führten dazu, dass Asquith Insolvenz anmelden musste.
Das Unternehmen wurde 1997 von Mike Edgar aufgekauft. Im folgenden Jahr kaufte schließlich Simon Rhodes alle Rechte auf und stattete in London eine Werkshalle zur weiteren Produktion aus.
Im Jahr 2005 kaufte Asquith die Vintage Motor Company Ltd. auf, die aktuell die Modelle Royale Windsor und Royale Sabre herstellt. Neu ist zudem der Asquith Shetland, der zurzeit das kleinste Modell des Herstellers ist.
Modelle
BearbeitenNachdem die Fahrzeuge bis 2002 auf dem Fahrgestell des Ford Transit aufgebaut wurden, dient seither der Iveco Daily als Basisfahrzeug.
