​1960's Ashley 1172

Registration No. GL 5855





 
This Ashley 1172 came to my attention in   
March 2015    
when I was contacted by Steve who was answering
a question I had asked about an Ashley 750 - DKX 820 on my
other website
and he said that apart from owning Ashley 750 - DKX 820
he also owned an Ashley 1172.


​I asked for more details of the 1172 and photo's as it was not listed
​on my Online Historical Archive.

He replied that he had purchased the Ashley 1172 in
​December 2002 when living in Chester
and had left it there in a lockup until he could move it up to his new location near Nantwich. 

In April he sent a couple of photo's taken at his old home plus
an old Ashley Drawing of the 1172 Models 90 & 94.  

It was at the end of May that he finally got the 1172 up to his new
location and was able to have a photo shoot with
both the Ashley 750 & 1172 together. 
​

I very surprised when in  June 2016 I saw a
For Sale advert for the Ashley 1172 - GL 5855
and I also heard from a reader of my websites that he had
purchased the Ashley 750 - DKX 820.

I contacted Steve to see what the story was and it seems he and his wife were finding it very difficult to get in and out of the 750, it being designed for the Austin 7 and therefore it was so small.
 
With the 1172 he had decided that it needed a lot of work to bring
it up to roadworthy condition and was therefore trying to
sell it to someone with more time & enthusiasm.
