Ashley Laminates was founded in 1955 by Peter Pellandine and Keith Waddington. Peter selected the name 'Ashley' after the name of his house in Woodford Green, UK. Along with building body shells, they also offered a range of products for special builders. The list of products they offered included radiators, header tanks, steel tubing, sheet aluminum, suspension components, water pumps, tires, tubes, wheels, and lighting sets. Pellandine and Waddington operated out of a garage next to the Robin Hood in at Loughton, Essex. The Ashley 1172 was introduced in August of 1958 and was initially a roadster with a detachable hard top. It was built for the Ford Anglia and in 1960, it was lengthened to fit the Ford E93A chassis. Just like the preceding Ashley 750, the Ashley 1172 referred to the engine displacement size. A fixed-head coupe became available in early 1959.
This particular example is on display at the Miami Auto Museum
