There are no DVLA records for the car so the registration details had not been entered into the electronic database due know doubt to 
the Ashley not being used in the late 1970's.

​The original builder is not known, however ​in 1989 the Ashley was owned by Francis Angle of Plymouth, Devon and he did have some details
​that he past on to the FSCC.

Donor car:       1950 Ford Prefect - Reg. # MYB 610 - Somerset C.C. 
​Orig.Engine:     1172cc SideValve E93A 10HP
Ashley Body:    Sportiva Mk2 (8'.0" wheelbase & Finned rear wings)
Chassis:         Ashley Mk VI  # 2059 (with 
fibreglass floor pan and                        rear seat wells, it also included front and rear                              suspension and clutch & brake pedal pendant assembly,                      see picture below.
Wheels:         15" Pressed Steel c/w Hydraulic brakes.

​We also know that before Francis had the car, it had in December 1984 been re-registered as
SSV 255 which was an "Age Related SV" Registration No. issued by Kinross C.C. in Scotland.
So between 1961 and 1984 it has most likely been off the road and missed
the electronic database entry by the DVLA and had to be re-registered.

What happened in that period and after is not known by me
​
but if you have any more information about this
Ashley Sportiva car
