1961 Ashley 1172



Registration No. 'Unknown'


Picture

I came across this rather sad looking example of an Ashley 1172 whilst looking at some photo's on flickr.com so I sent a message to Roger the guy that had posted it in his photostream, asking a few questions about it and got this reply, this was in DECEMBER 2013.


Hi Ivor
Thanks for your message via Flickr. 
The car was located between Plumstead and Thamesmead in SE London, in a yard beside a road called Nathan Way. If you have Google Earth you should be able to view the location using the UK postcode..
I made a point of not putting any photos on a public site like Flickr, that could disclose the location or identity of the car, but now enclose some additional photographs which I hope you might find helpful.
Regards
Roger

I decided to follow up with a phone call to the seller and see what he knew about the 1172.

It turned out that he had owned it for a number of years and had it stored in a lockup that was broken into and the front was
destroyed and engine taken,
so he decided to sell the remainder of the car to anyone that was interested.

It wasn't until JULY 2014 that I heard more via an
email from the new owner.

Hello,
I have just purchased an Ashley from S.E. London it's been sitting around for 20 years, hopefully I will be able to retain its reg, it has no engine or front but is just about to get a hot 1172 motor.
I see that one of your guys bought some Ashley parts from Shropshire and one has the wrong front, would he consider selling me the early front?
My car is a 1959 Ashley 1172 open top on a Ford chassis, split beam front, alloy wheels, spacers and a remote gear lever, we intend to hillclimb the car in the future any help would be gratefully received.
My name is Terry Howarth I am in the process of trying to keep the reg  if you need to contact me please do, once the car is more together I can send you all the pictures I have if you are interested,
Thanks again Terry


I was of course interested and Terry emailed the photo's to me, (see below). also asking if I could help him find a new front for the Ashley,
I managed to locate a couple of possible fronts and past on the contact details for him to follow up.


I believe the Ashley has had a Rego No. in it's past and Terry is trying to reuse this on the restored model.
It's now November 2014, I have not heard back recently so I'm not sure how it is all going so far, but will update this page as soon as I do.
