I have seen this Austin registration on two internet photo's of old Ashley adverts.
I do not know if there is a present owner but if you do, please email me.
The DVLA records do not show this registration so it could be assumed that it was never uploaded onto the system back in the 1970's.

What is the history of this car.

Well I recently came across a movie clip made back in 1958.
It shows two guys (maybe Keith Waddington and Peter Pellandine Ashley Laminates Ltd co-founders) starting off with an old 1928 Austin 7 and completely rebuilding and transforming it into an 1958 Ashley 750 sports car.
The following photo's show the car at different stages, with the outside street views taken at the Robin Hood roundabout in Loughton, Essex, the original home of Ashley Laminates Ltd (in Epping Forest).
That was in the garage at the left hand side of the Robin Hood Hotel with the Green doors as shown in the photo's below.

Where is the car now???
This I do not know, it appears on a couple of Ashley Adverts in the late 1950's but after that was it, sold on to an employee or a passing customer, I don't know, maybe you do, if so please email me so that I can update this page.
Would you like to watch the movie clip
