I have no photo's of this Ashley 1172 but I do know that it had a
Green body with a White top in 1970 and would have looked
similar to the photo above.
I have not found any Current DLVA Registration Information so must assume it is know longer registered, most likely scrapped, but as I've said before it might be in someone's backyard or old barn
waiting to be rediscovered.
This car was seen by Trevor Pyman, (a very keen cyclist, car enthusiast and contributor to these Ashley websites),
back on 29th March 1970, Rayleigh, Essex.
He saw it parked at the gateway of a car breakers yard on the side of the A127 trunk road. It looked like it was about to be broken up but amazingy in July 1971 he saw the same car parked on the forecourt of the village garage at Bradwell on Sea, Essex,
about 25 miles from where he had first seen it.
It obviously escaped the breaker but he doubt it survived much longer.
