Introduction
History
Founded in the mid-1950s with assistance from Reliant, Autocars Co. Ltd started out assembling Reliant three-wheelers at its Haifa workshops, and later introduced a four-wheeled version of the Reliant Regent van. The company's first model of its own, the Sussita, was also designed by Reliant. Available in estate, van and pick-up versions, the Sussita was powered by the Ford Anglia 105E's 1000cc engine and was initially exported from the UK in CKD form for assembly at the Autocars plant, although production was later undertaken entirely in Israel. The Sussita quickly became Israel's best-selling model, earning itself a reputation as a basic but dependable workhorse (indeed, "Sussita" is the Aramaic word for mare).
