of additional photo's of the

It also had some additional information about the car as follows:

The Ashley 750 Short wheelbase was made in 1956 only. Then available as Falcon Mk 1 (another manufacturer).
The Ashley 750 Long wheelbase was made from 1956 to 1962."
The photo of the front view of the car seems to ask a question that needs answering, " where did that bonnet come from ??? "
I raise this question because it is like no other Ashley 750 bonnet that I have ever seen, it appears to be a front hinged, forward opening whole bonnet and wings, not unlike the principle to be used later on the 1172 and Sportiva.
Is it perhaps a bonnet from another makers 1960's special, used after the original had been crashed or a home designed replacement to improve the looks, if anyone knows the answer please email me so that I can add it's story to this page.
