Introducing Ashley, the tax exempt 1850 auto..........









Chris and I got it running, then I replaced the rear brake lines and cleaned up front brakes, need to replace the zorst and all coolant hoses before putting it for a mot then a bit of body work, replace the interior and maybe a new paint job. the underside and sills appear to be solid so it should go through the mot without a problem.

I need a 200hp Sprint that looks like that


Looks like a good project

why call it Ashley?

there is a good reason for the name, prepare to be bored....................

Last week a friend of mine gave birth to a little chubby bundle of fun who was named Ashley, being a little thing that does bugger all except sleep, poo or scream everyone seems to want to take pictures of baby Ashley, anyhow pictures were taken then I went to my workshop and took pics of the car, when loading pics onto my computer the file was named 'Ashley'.
so the car also took on that name as well.

Nice to see it still has those lovely early dials fitted, that doesn't look too bad at all and it's gone to a caring home.

Another one saved, nice one Justyn

How low is the Comm number J?

great to see an early one saved we have got the same model in ice blue just havent had chance to take any photo's yet what colour of green is it?

These early 1850 autos seem to be cropping up. How about our own club?

Always am, when I see you posting Justyn!

You've finally bought something I like. Takes me right back to when my Dad bought a K reg 1850, and my life long love with Dollys began.

If any of your wheel trims are damaged let me know, as i'm sure I have some tucked away.

Calum

Victim of Justyn's pick on Calum club.

there was an l reg early 1850 in white sold on ebay last night for around £2000 somone had painted the roof black but other than that seemed a very nice car,they do seem to be popping up dont they!!! emerald is a great colour

paint code 65, spot on there, i forgot to check the comm number, will try again tomorrow.

I wondered how long it would be before that comment came along!!

As you know, I'm working very hard to rectify the situation. I intend to be around (and be a pain in your neck), for quite some time yet!!!

yes please mikey, will arrange pickup after new year.
