A VINTAGE Austin van may have been appropriate to the delivery of reproduction antique furniture but was not the essence of reliability. So the furniture craftsmen decided to "fake" (in the best possible taste) an antique vehicle based on a Ford Transit chassis extended to enable the front axle to be placed ahead of the engine, as in the olden days.
The new old vehicle, known the Asquith, has brought orde to the Asquith Motor
Manufacturing Co, Braintree, Essex, from various European countries and America. Production of 60 to 100 vehicl, a year is planned, with any bo style limited to 100. A platforr truck, a wood-panelled statior and a bus are scheduled for tt future.
