Take a piece of British motoring history along on your travels with this Ascari Cars passport cover. Founded by Klaas Zwart in Dorset in 1994, the company launched its limited-edition Ecosse four years later and built a new facility in Banbury in 2000. That site helped develop the KZ1 and supported Team Ascari's racing program. For collectors and road-trip fans alike, this travel accessory recalls a focused, short-lived marque whose story connected ambitious cars with competition.
Ascari Cars Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer founded by Klaas Zwart. The company was established in Dorset in 1994 and named after Alberto Ascari (1918–1955), the first double winner of the World Championship of Drivers. Its first limited-edition car, the Ascari Ecosse, was launched in 1998. In 2000, Ascari built a new facility in Banbury, Oxfordshire. The Banbury site was used to develop the Ascari KZ1 and housed Team Ascari’s racing assets. Team Ascari, also founded by Zwart, competed in the BOSS GP Series, winning seven drivers’ titles and seven team titles, and took part in endurance events with the Ascari A410. Ascari Cars was based in Banbury, England. Declining KZ1 sales and high production costs led to heavy financial losses, and the company filed for bankruptcy in 2010. The Banbury premises are now occupied by Haas F1 Team.
