Ashley 750 (Austin 7)
Registration No. YC 5858
I have no photo's of this Ashley 750 but I do know that it would have looked a bit like the photo above, it might not have had the
luxury of a hardtop but there again it might have.
The donor car was a 1929 Austin 7 registered in April 1929, it
may have started life as an Ashley 750 a bit like this
Austin photo below.
The Ashley 750 (Austin 7 based) was on a Registration List that I obtained from the FSCC Ashley Registrar.
After some research I found it was listed on a 1984 CMA Auctions advert, then in November 1986 Malcolm Tucker
became the registered owner, who had it converted back to an
Austin Ulster T.T. Replica
by "Roach Manufacturing" Coachbuilders of Ower, Hampshire in
June 1987.
I was also owned in July 2001 by Rowan Atkinson and then
Sold again at Bonhams Auctions in September 2008.
