Commemorative stamp, Ledl AS 160

Ledl AS 160

Austrian stamp 2026 featuring red sports car Ledl AS 160 and matching special postmark with car illustration.

A sleek sports car from the 1980s, the Ledl AS takes its name from the designation “AS”, which stands for “Austrian sportscar”.

In 1973, Günter Ledl founded a company in Lower Austria that initially produced buggies, replica vehicles and crash helmets. From the prototype of a two-seater sports car known as the Tanga, the production model Ledl AS eventually emerged after numerous revisions and was presented in 1981. The Ledl AS 130 produced 69 hp, while the more powerful AS 160 delivered 96 or 105 hp. Ledl developed the chassis himself, although many components were sourced from vehicles made by other manufacturers. Due to the complex domestic regulations governing vehicle type approval, the majority of the cars were exported. With the introduction of mandatory catalytic converters, Ledl ceased car production in 1987; today, the company manufactures accessories and tuning components made from fibreglass and carbon fibre.
