Ascari Cars Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer based in Banbury, England, and founded by Klaas Zwart.[2] Zwart was the former chairman and majority owner of oil and gas company Petroline, which designed and manufactured its own downhole technology. Petroline was purchased by Weatherford in 1999.[3]
The company was named after Alberto Ascari (1918–1955), the first double winner of the World Championship of Drivers.[4]
The company filed for bankruptcy in 2010. Ascari's official site was also shut down and has not been updated since 2009.
