I was interested in finding out more about this 1172, it is one of the very early 1172's having windup door windows which were soon discontinued due to manufacture problems.
So I contacted the Seller asking for any history he might have on the car and would he give my details to the new buyer, the auction was still running at this time.
He and the car were located in Sedgley, West Midlands, UK,
I hoped that I would get more details about the car but after a couple of messages to Bob with no reply I assumed he was not interested in passing on any further information.
If you purchased this Ashley and have any information about it since November 2012 please email me and let me know so that I can update this page with your help.
Update September 2013
Courtesy of Terry the owner
In September 2013 the car appears again on eBay it must have changed hands in November 2012 as
it is now being sold by Terry Day of Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK.
It doesn't look a lot different to last years photo's on the outside but the bonnet bulge appears to have been raised and lights fitted front and rear.

The asking price was originally £2,500 but
later reduced to £2,000 and I'm
not sure if the car has been registered but the 1958 agrees
with my view back in 2012, the description does state a
registration date of 15.01.1958, maybe Terry can update me on
that or the new owner when it sell's.
This Ashley " SOLD " eventually in January 2014, Terry passed on this websites details so hopefully the new owner will contact me with his restoration plans sometime soon.
