A 1912 Anasagasti from Buenos Aires

Anasagasti is a brand we don’t often come across. As early as 1912, Horacio Anasagasti, born in 1879, built about 50 cars in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The chassis, gearboxes, diffs and steering boxes are all French MAB-made. The different body styles were all made locally. Anasagasti sent three cars to the Tour de France 1913 and were sold there after the event.

 

1912 Anasagasti

 

Only two cars with a Ballot, 2125cc 4-cylinder engine are known to have survived. One is on display in Museo de Nacional de Aeronáutica de Argentina. The other — the Anasagasti in the photographs — is the property of the Club de Automóviles Clásicos. The car underwent a total restoration — just look at the result after two years of fine craftmanship!

Hello to all.
My name is Laurent ZOLLER and I'm living in France. Thank you for speaking about Anasagasti
A few years ago, I met Guillermo SANCHEZ the great specialist in ANASAGASTI.
With him I discovered these cars. Horacio ANASAGASTI left Argentina for FRANCE to meet car suppliers so that he could build his own cars. The engines selected are of the BALLOT brand. He also retains Janvier and Sabin if required. Malicet and Blin provides the chassis with suspensions, wheels, brakes, steering, gearbox and differential. The clutch comes from Hele-Sawles. The first radiators are GM (Moreaux).
For the 1913 race, Coupe de l'Auto, the motor was actually designed by Lucien Picker (78x156 mm)
One of the models left (model 1912 typo B number 131) was presented on november 3. 2021 in Buenos Aires after restoration with French bodywork. Thank you Rueda RUDGE for the photographs!

I enclose an extract of catalog of ANASAGASTI ( personal document)

I believe there was also a "race car", powered by an engine that had something to do with Lucian Picker, Ernest Henry's employer.

Now that´s a fortuitousness. Just yesterday I found this advertising on the Gallica-Homepage and wondered about the "Anasagasti", I´ve never heard of before.
