Ashley/Tornado Special....

[Hedgehopper]

Rather a long shot but I wonder if anyone remembers this car? As you can see it is an Ashley Laminates body but on a Tornado chassis rather than the more usual Ford item. The registration was 7460 UR. I built it whilst an apprentice and was the beginning of my fondness for fibreglass (particularly the smell!). I later re-built a Europa Twin Cam followed by my current car which is a TVR Griffith 500.

If anyone recalls this car I would be most interested to hear from them.

Hi Hedgehopper,

Thats a very clean looking and well built special from the 1950,s - 1960,s. Thats just the sort of
photographs members should be sending to this thread.
If you send me your e-mail address I will pass it to the Ashley Registrar.


I run the Rochdale Olympic History Archives for the rochdale-owners-club.co.uk if anyone has any photographs or knowledge of Olympics
from the 1960,s – 1970,s specially any Racing history, please send me a a PM/e-mail from my profile TSP3.

Regards

Tony

Hi - I happen to have the Fairthorpe Sports Car Club Ashley records on loan and unfortunately no trace of it in their files ...

Electron....thanks for looking. It was probably scrapped many years ago but I thought it might be worth asking anyway.
