1964 Ashley 1172
Registration No. 860 STA
2018
When I was compiling an eDatabase for the FSCC Ashley Registrar I found these Ashley 1172 photo's.
They had some paperwork with it that indicated that the owner in February 1986 was Alex Buckingham of Cullompton, Devon.
His letter indicated that he had recently acquired the car and was busy restoring it mechanically and preparing the bodywork ready for repainting.
He had also discovered that the registration number
of the car was not all it had seemed when he
had purchased it.

It appears that the lighting in the barn was a very very warm white that distorted the cars Silver/Black
paint finish, although it seems to have had a few different colours over the years.

There was no DVLA registration Data
available for 860 STA
and
Regards the registration number it seems that the registration documents that came with the car show the number as NSV 229
which is an age-related re-registration series number.
Why it was changed,
maybe the 860 STA plate was sold
or in the years between 1964 and 1986
it had lost it's original number through being unregistered
or it missed the DVLA change to the eDatabase.
Whatever the reason from then on it was known as NSV 229
In 1988 Alex sold the Ashley 1172
