1960's Ashley 1172
Registration No. DAU 121
,
I was notified about this Ashley
in February 2017 by
Sandro Binelli of Automotivemasterpieces.com
his company was processing and researching the car's
History for it's owner and contacted me for any information I might have, which at that time
was none.
I checked what I could for DAU 121.
The donor car was first registered at
Nottingham C.B.C in 1936 and the chassis No.
confirmed it was a Ford 10hp motor,
the car being similar to the Ford below.

I also checked the Car Registration websites, none have DAU 121 listed, also it is not listed by the UK Ashley Registrar, so it appears to have been unregistered in UK since the late 1970's.
I requested more information and photo's of
the car and owner.
A few days later I had an email from
Stefano Ferrari and attached I
received a copy of the old registration certificate
and lots of photo's showing the car
before and after restoration.
The old registration certificate shows that in February 1956 the donor car was owned by
Michael Collier of Iikeston Rd, Radford, Nottingham,
if he started the Ashley conversion or not is unknown.
The before photo's were
taken in May 2002 and show a
Red body colour on the car and much work
still required on the interior and engine bay.
The first batch of after photo's were taken in September 2004 and show a Silver body colour on the car and a completely upgraded interior cabin space.
With a second batch dated January 2007 show more of the same with little extra work completed.
I replied to Sandro and Stefano thanking them and asking if they would pass on my details to the owner and asking him to please contact me regards further details of the car,
unfortunately I have never received any replies.
