Ascort

  Also see: Ascort Car Reviews
 
The Ascort was an Australian automobile manufactured by Continental Coachwork of Sydney from 1958 to 1960. Basically a modified VW Beetle, the four-seater touring coupe featured a roomy, double-skinned body made out of fibreglass; it was remarkably well conceived and appointed. The 1·2-liter Beetle engine was modified using an Okrasa kit to produce 54bhp. The vehicle's total weight was 33% less than that of a standard sedan, which made for brisk acceleration. More than a dozen cars were built before the project collapsed.

It was also the first time Holden had produced more than 100,000 units in a year and its market share was over 50% with its nearest rival being just half this.
