Summit

AUSTRALIA

time-calendar.png 1922-1926

The Summit was one of the several attempts to manufacture an “Australian” car in the period between World War 1 and World War 2. The 5-seater tourer solf for approximately £495. Like the other attempts to sell a locally built car at this time, the Summit could not compete on price with imported cars, many of which were imported as chassis into Australia, avoiding import taxes, and fitted with Australian bodies. The Acme springing system was also prone to failure. Unfortunately the Summit did not last long in the marketplace, with the last cars being built in early 1926. Production figures are estimated between 300-500 cars. Five complete cars survive, along with approximately ten cars in various stages of completeness.
