Astron (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

Astron Motors Ltd was a British automotive manufacturer based in Telford, Shropshire, that operated briefly from 1984 to 1985. The company specialized in the production of a unique four-seater sports car characterized by its brick-like design and open fiberglass body.

The vehicle was notable for being offered in kit form, allowing enthusiasts to assemble the car themselves. It was built using mechanical components sourced from the Ford Cortina, which provided a reliable foundation for the sports car. Despite its innovative approach, only one unit of the Astron sports car was ever constructed, marking the brand as a rare entry in the automotive landscape of the 1980s.
