Registration No. TAP 444



Picture
Ashley 1172 similar to TAP 444.

This Ashley 1172 was listed with the FSCC Ashley Registry in 1986 with a photo, see below, and the following details.

The car was built and registered in 1960,
based on the complete
chassis and mechanical's of a 10 HP Ford 5 cwt Van and fitted with a Red Ashley 1172 bodyshell.
The engine was lightly tuned with
double valve springs etc,
"Buckler" close ratio gears were installed in
the gearbox, as well as a
4.4:1 crown wheel and pinion in the Differential.

It was built as a two seater using Ex.lorry
bucket seats.
It was fitted with Michelin "X" tyres on Ford wheels.
 
​
It's brakes were converted to Hydraulics after
a near accident whilst the owner was on a
holiday trip to Wales,
on it's first Journey after the cars 
completion.

The Sussex police didn't like the first Location of
the Numberplates which was flat on the top of the bonnet, hence the holes, and he had to re-mount
​it under the air duct as shown in the photo.
It was used daily until part exchanged for a Triumph Herald estate in 1969.
It was sold for 
£50 to Mr Gaster, at the Albion Garage, in Frome, who sold it on his forecourt a couple of weeks later for £95,
​still that's life.
