1960 Ashley 1172 Roadster
Registration No. NGW 485
This was a surprise Ashley find in
October 2018
It was in October when I was chatting with Dave, the owner of another Ashley 1172 Roadster
registration number
FHM 278D
We were on Facebook and Billy posted this picture taken in his garage
and Dave posted a comment back:
"Hey, it looks a little like my garage mate - Capri and Ashley rubbing shoulders (er wings) "
"Hey, it looks a little like my garage mate - Capri and Ashley rubbing shoulders (er wings) "
I quickly asked for more details as it was obviously unknown to me, Billy posted back that he had owned it for around 20 years and had not done anything with it, (apart from swapping the Ballamy 15" wheels with a mate's Popular wheels).
The previous owner had brought it in 1971 from the original builder and he had not done anything with it either since that purchase.
Billy also told me that the car had never been registered but he does have the
Buff car registration log book for the Ford Prefect that the Ashley used for all it's Chassis, Motor/gearbox and running gear.
Which if the car had been finished in the 1960's would have probably been it's registration number.
(I've taken the liberty of using it to list this page)
The cars history seems to have started out in Carmunnock, near Glasgow, Scotland
in the early 1960's.
Then in 1971 it was sold for around £17.00
to another guy in Busby, about 3 miles away, this was were Billy purchased it in around 1998.
Since then it has been stored in Billy's garage
along with all his other projects
