1959 Ashley 1172
Registration 616 WMX
Photo Courtesy of www.finecars.com
This car has been listed in my
Registration Index since
I first complied it
and it has not been linked
to any photo's or other information.
However this photo came to my attention in
January 2014
it was in an April 2012
"For Sale" advert on www.finecars
and the car for sale was an
Ashley 1172 Registration No.738 KTE
(see Ashley 1172 - 738 KTE page)
It's pictured in its early days in early
1961 at an amateur club race meeting held at the
Silverstone Race Circuit in the UK.

Wanting to know more I enhanced and enlarged
the photo around the area at the front
of the bonnet to be able to read the Registration No.
This is when I discovered that it was a photo of
616 WMX
unfortunately there was no further information supplied
with the photo and being a 2012 advert probably a bit late to try
and follow up at www.finecars.
I have not found any
Current DLVA Registration Information
so must assume it is know longer registered,
I guess it might be in someone's backyard or old barn, but more likely scrapped, so if anyone remembers it send me an email and let me know so I can add it here for all to see.
Well I did check with www.Finecars and after a few days I got the details sent to me with another photo showing the details.

It was a couple of years later that I found the same
picture registered with the FSCC in 1991
and published in their June 1992 magazine.
