Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox automobile The Astra, Little Horse, was an English car built by a subsidiary of British Anzani of Hampton Hill, Middlesex from 1954 until 1959.[1] At GBP348 it claimed to be the smallest and cheapest four-wheeler on the British market. The car had originally been built by JARC motors and sold as the Little Horse.

Car

It featured a rear-mounted Шаблон:Cvt air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine mounted under the floor driving the rear wheels through a three-speed motorcycle-type gearbox.[2] The steel channel section chassis had all-round independent suspension with swing axles at the rear.[2] Most cars had two seater estate car bodies, but some four-seat saloons were also made. The bodies were made of aluminium. The car could also be bought in kit form. It was claimed to be able to reach Шаблон:Convert and return Шаблон:Convert.

After production ceased, some coupés were made by Gill cars and sold as the Getabout.[1] The rights were also bought by Harold Lightburn of Camden, Adelaide, Australia who fitted a new glass-fibre estate body and sold the car as the Zeta between 1963 and 1966.
