Unregistered Car No. 5

I first heard about this Ashley whilst chasing up contact information on the Ashley Sportiva, Rego No. 65 FYH that is on this website.

This was back in November 2011.
Mark, the owner, mentioned that he had purchased it and another Ashley 1172 "basketcase" that had a few good pieces of kit that he wanted for the 1172 he already owned.

This is the story of that already owned Ashley 1172

It was not until June 2013 that I had to contact Mark again to try and track down the the buyer of Ashley 65 FYH for a different reason.


I received a reply with the following information about the car and also some photo's



Hi Ivor,

I do have a few pictures of my car that I can send you, please find them attached to this email. The car is in storage at the moment and I have no immediate plans to start work on it just yet.

For your information the Ashley is fitted with a Les Ballamy type split beam axle, a Ford sidevalve engine and the chassis is believed to be a Halifax tubular chassis, quite rare by all accounts. The brakes are hydraulic (type unknown).

I’m afraid it never came with any documentation of any kind, the previous owner who I bought the car off was under the impression that it may never have been registered which may be backed up by the fact that the speedometer has less than 1 mile registered on it! 
I hope this helps you Ivor,

Mark
   


I'm not sure about the chassis as it differs in looks from an old Halifax catalog that I have, however it could well be a different model to that shown.


That was another 12 months past now and I should maybe email Mark again to see if there has been any movement on the restoration.

Stay tuned for further news.
