Aseci Automotive was started as a group of smaller companies in Eastern Europe, back in 1947. The company made highly tuned parts for race cars in the beginning but one day it all changed when one of the engineers made a sketch of the first car. The Aseci started working on it’s first car, the first two cars of the company were a small family car “Sparrow” and a large limited edition luxury car called the “Ambassador” made their first appearance on Geneva Motor Show 1948. The mass production of the “Sparrow” occured while the much pricey “Ambassador” got made in just 499, the last 500 “Ambassador” is in the company’s museum to this day.
