​1982 Ashley 1172

Registration No. RAX 15Y



Picture
Photo Courtesy of Jim Oven owner in 1983

   
This Ashley 1172 with a few body additions and modifications
was first registered
in
September 1982
     
and first appears on the FSCC Ashley Registry
in
July 1983
However the Bodyshell originally was manufactured
in 1959 as it has the wind-up windows in the doors,
these were discontinued soon after.

So was it an old bodyshell that had been stored
23 years or an old Ashley special that had been
 rebuilt, modified and re-registered with the DVLA.
Unless Jim Oven contacts me after seeing this webpage I guess we will never know.


However his images appear to show an owner that is well pleased with his Ashley.
The details held by FSCC show the following specifications; 
Ashley 1172 GT 
Body - Black

Engine - Sunbeam Alpine 1750cc Holbay fitted
          with Twin 40 Webers Carburettors
Chassis - Ford
Front & Rear Suspension - Sunbeam Alpine 

Wheels- Slotted Mags 
​
​
Also in
July 1983
this same Ashley was photographed by John Maitland at the Kit Car Weekend Display Day

.

I wonder what 'Ashley 1172' was in the grass behind
​RAX 15Y
