Ashley 750 (Austin 7)
Registration No. CPC 76
In April 2014 I received the following contact from David Offer
Hi,
Just spent 1/2 an hour trawling your site, to find you have a picture of my car on your site!
You have it listed as Unknown No 3, CLICK HERE the bodyshell sitting on the boat trailer. It's reg is CPC 76, which you have on your list, and it has had some work done since that photo, although restoration has stalled over the last few years.
If you let me have your email, I'll send you more info and pictures.
I did and got much more that I ever bargained for, not badly but wonderfully, many photo's of his car and others that he has
photographed over the years plus a detailed
Restoration story of CPC 76.
I checked the DVLA's Vehicle online service and came up with the following:

Unknown Ashley 750 - No.2
David has also solved another Ashley ??? mystery on this site.

You are are right in that "Unknown Ashley 750 - No.2" it is not an Ashley.
It's a Markham-Peasey Super Sabre.
Attached is a picture I have of another one, CAE 550
and a scan of an Super Accessories advert for it.
