​1960 Ashley 1172

Registration No. WFF 199

There seems to be a few twist's and turn's with this Ashley 1172 so hang on and try and keep up with me.
​ 

My first encounter with this car was when I set up
the FSCC Ashley Registrar's e-data bank
in  
June 2016 and
​I found a couple of pages copied from the

RS&SOC Magazine in 1997 when the car was
owned by Barry Job.

It was only one month later that I had my
second encounter with this car 

in  July 2016 and
it was via an email from a previous Ashley owner
Steve Humphrey that I know from a few years back.
He emailed me to say that he had just purchased
WFF 199 but had some work to do on it as I had suffered a bit of damage during transport to him.
He also sent these photo's below:

I contacted Steve again
in  
April 2017 to
enquire about the repairs to the front suspension
and he was well under way with fixing it, plus
​working on a couple of other projects. 


​I keep a lookout on a few Facebook Group pages
​for news of other Specials, hoping to see new photo's
of all the Ashley's I have on these pages.
In  May 2019
on
the "50s/60s Special Builders" page I found these
photo's by Chris COB Photos, taken at
the RAF Museum Cosford.


Many thanks to Chris COB Photos for use of Images.
