1962 Ashley 1172
Registration No. VHM 188
This Ashley 1172 was listed with the FSCC Ashley Registry just before March 1984 with a couple of photo's and the some details by
Tim Turner, the owner from
Alcester, Warkwickshire
Tim mentions that he missed the DVLA deadline to register and keep the Registration No. in 1983 as it was un-roadworthy at that time.
The car was still located in Essex, presumably that's where he purchased it and an Essex based car restorer told him the chassis is from a
1935-37 Talbot 10.
He supplied information as follows:
1962 Ashley 1172GT - c/w Hardtop and Bucket Seats.
1935-37 Talbot 10 Chassis
Fitted with - Talbot 15" wire wheels & axle's, Leaf springs & Telescopic shockers
Hillman Minx - Engine 1592cc & gearbox.

Then in March 1992 we have a new owner register, David Ward of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.
He add's that the wire wheels had been replaced
with Hillman Minx wheels on Ford axles and that
the cable brakes had been replaced.
At some date (unknown to me) the ownership was transferred to Paul Saunders
but no further details are available and the fate of FHM 188 is unknown, was it re-registered under the new "Age Related" rules, maybe, maybe not!
