Ashley 750 (Turner 803)
Registration No. 141 DPF
This photo is the only one I have seen of this Ashley Turner 803
It appeared as an Advert "For Sale" June 1958 in the
Motor Sport Magazine at
"Lockharts of Dunstable", Bedfordshire
with the following write-up
1957 (AUGUST) TURNER 803 c.c. TWO SEATER
Perhaps the prettiest car of this type to be built, this almost new Turner possesses rather remarkable road holding properties and almost "bubble-car" petrol consumption ..... well, say 50m.p.g. With an Austin engine, gearbox and other components, the spares position is good --- and the price is right --- £495
(It is of course possible that it is a Falcon Mk1 body)
It appears to have no DVLA history listed, so has been unregistered with this number since the mid/late 1970's.

Well, I received an email this month from Russell Filby, of the Turner Sports Car website
Ivor,
141 DPF – What do you think? Ashley?
Turner Chassis underneath – There is a photo of it For Sale June 1958 Motor Sport Magazine.
(That's the same one as above)
This photo courtesy of former Turner Employee Ron Oakley,
and shows the car at Pendeford awaiting repairs.
Regards Russell.
The car shows a little bit of the drivers side wing damage and it's awaiting repairs at Pendeford Aerodrome in Wolverhampton where Turner car production continued until early 1966.
