  • Asquith was prime minister of the United Kingdom in 1916. Winston Churchill spoke of him during a dinner attended by Indiana Jones and Vicky Prentiss in the May of that year.
  • Summoned to Albion Hospital, Asquith was shocked by the Space Pig recovered from the crashed spaceship that landed in the Thames. When Dr Sato pulled back the comatose creature's sheet, he asked if she was sure it wasn't "a hoax or a dummy". She responded that the brain was wired like nothing she had ever seen before. Asquith went to 10 Downing Street to brief the Acting Prime Minister, Joseph Green inside the Cabinet Room. Asquith, appalled at Green's leadership, threatened to remove Green and put the United Kingdom under martial law. Green and his colleagues, Margaret Blaine and Oliver Charles, revealed themselves as Slitheen in disguise and killed General Asquith. The Slitheen who had used the skin of Oliver Charles switched to Asquith. As Asquith, the Slitheen had control of the British military. Harriet Jones, an MP who was hiding in a cupboard in the Cabinet Room, witnessed Asquith's death and told Rose Tyler about it. (TV: Aliens of London) The Slitheen impersonating Asquith was killed when a missile destroyed Number 10. (TV: World War Three)
  • Asquith is a town of about 600 people in south-central Saskatchewan, Canada.
  • The Asquith is an English automobile built since 1981 and originally based in Braintree Essex.The company was founded by Mr Bruce west who designed the logo created the name and designed all the early vehicles.His concept was to creat modern vehicles with the potential of mass advertising through the appeal of historic vehicles.In 1984 Mr West sold the moulds to Hunnable Holdingsd of Yeldham. Great Yeldham, Essex. Mr West started building "Retro-style" delivery vans on the Ford Transit chassis in 1982. In 1991 the company announced production of a 1930s-style taxi cab that would meet the London Public Carriage Office regulations on a purpose-built chassis. Originally based in Braintree in Essex, Asquith employed 30 fulltime craftsmen who hand made over 1,000 vehicles, many exported to countries as far away as Paraguay, Japan and USA. Though Germany has always been the biggest export market. In the late 1990s after the sale to Hunnables the company experienced some challenges. The cost of manufacture had increased, research & development on new vehicles including the London Taxi had spiralled and a large Japanese order was cancelled due to increases in the exchange rate. The company was forced into receivership. The company was purchased from the liquidators by Mike Edgar in 1997. He built a team of designers led by Paul Keegan and engineers led by Eddie Parsons. Further investment was required to move this company forward and Mike soon found that UK manufacture was too expensive and sought partnerships in other countries. At the time, relationships were established with third party companies in Barcelona (Spain) and Katowice (Poland). In 2003 the moulds and Intellectual Property Rights were purchased by Simon Rhodes and Asquith Motor Company Ltd was established to develop new versions of the original vehicles. Due to various quality, language and distance issues with the overseas companies, it was decided to stop them manufacturing further vehicles. In 2005, Asquith Motor Company Ltd bought the assets of the 'Vintage Motor Company Ltd', based in Doncaster. The main assets included The Royale Windsor (a 1940s style limousine) and The Royale Sabre (a 1940s style sports car). These are due to manufactured in the future....more information at www.sabresportscars.com. In 2009, Asquith Motor Company Ltd appointed John Barlow, a well known and respected car designer and engineer, to develop new moulds for the Shire and Mascot, to be based on the Iveco Daily chassis. Launch of these vehicles is due in early 2010 and enquiries have been received from companies all over the world, who appreciate the classic style to advertise their business.
