​1982 Ashley 1172

Registration No. CFA 759Y



Picture


​The story of this Ashley has a few twist's and turns so hang on.
​
The car has been owned by two guys that I know of and I assume supplied all the photo's,
Martin Wedgewood that lived in
Cheddleton, Leek, Staffordshire.

(BTW do you see the Ashley in the garage above).​
And after that Mike Bolshaw owned it.



Martin supplied the following:

Ashley 1172 Roadster - CFA 759Y
Body - Red gel coat - c/w an extra bonnet bulge
Dashboard - in place c/w instrumentation
Chassis
 - Ford Boxed ladder c/w 13" x 185 wheels
Engine - Ford 105E - c/w Webber Carburettor  
Gearbox - Ford 2000E
Suspension - Coil springs front & rear.

I'm not sure who decided to convert the coupe to a Roadster but the following pictures show it underway.
The Coupe hardtop was always just a bolt on so
​not too hard a job to do.

And this picture shows the completed project.

Following a mix up with the listing of this car as CFA 759Y
an 1172GT Hardtop Coupe

and another car CFA 759 (without the Y), an 1172 Roadster.
I later found a reference to the Roadster being displayed
at the 1995 FSCC Burford Specials Display Day.

A quick post on the FSCC Facebook Group in June 2021 soon
uncovered a photo
taken by Derek Bentley, shown below

Problem solved. Thanks Derek. 

​At the same time I had a reply post from Richard Disbrow saying:


It was the second Ashley I ever saw in the '80s. I owned it for a short while in 2016, it had a hard top.
It drove quite well, 105E engine, the best little engine I ever heard,
 I sold it to a guy in Cheshire who talked of splitting this and his Ashley to do a body swap! ​

So if you have any newer or older information about this
Ashley 1172 Coupe/Roadster

Registration No.
CFA 759Y

(originally registered by Burton-on-Trent C.B.C in between August 1982 & July 1983)
