The Ascort - 1959
A Victorian Czech immigrant with an early Karmann Ghia decided he could make an Australian built sports car from the Beetle chassis. Using his
Ghia as the basis of his design he built a light steel tubular frame and around it built a body of fibreglass, epoxy resin and foam rubber for
insulation. The 2-door car featured 4 seats, a roll bar and reinforced dash. He also added a stronger, stiffer anti-roll bar to the front to provide
better stability. Standard brakes were left to pull up the Okrasa powered car.
The rear armrests housed the fuel tanks leaving the front vacant for increased luggage space - something the Ghia lacked in abundance. The two
tanks gave a combined volume of over 40 litres. The spare was also mounted forward of the torsion bars in a horizontal position.
Only 19 Ascorts were made and few remain today.

that be a bit weird in that he & his company were Sydney based & I dont think he ever owned a Karmann Ghia, the Ascort was never designed to be a
sports car, rather it was a luxury touring GT, it was very quiet, & exceptional safety was also an important feature, & most importantly the two fuel
tanks were 36 litres EACH which meant you could drive a very long way
few remain today isnt all that accurate either, I dont know the exact number, but a high percentage still exist
