franklin Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 have uploaded pics of brothers car .he died suddenly partway through restoration. wondering if theres anybody near Hornchurch ? or can otherwise give an idea of valuation to sell it on as part restored ? full details pics plus inspection invited for serious buyers. aware couple of thousand already spent acquiring car and replacing things eg full front suspension .dampers. springs brakes ( discs) etc already replaced . engine stripped ready for rebuild .bores re-honed etc and many new parts such as lamps already with car but not fitted as car was being stripped for a full repaint /rework.

Richard B Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Interesting. This is the registration number in the Ashley GT hardtop advert. Is the roof still with the car? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklin Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 hardtop is still with car but not fitted. basic red paint coat applied ..car was due to be returned to original Red colour. ( no idea why it was sprayed yellow) about to go sort out car .parts see if we can locate everything and take few more pics . found out bonnet 'lemans' style is steel and NOT fibreglass as Ashleys were ? so few questions to sort out but bonnet (removed for refurb of car) is in very good condition requiring only sanding. painting. so basic car is sound with no rust visible but I have not yet checked boot and floor pan etc as waiting next opportunity to visit garage and start sorting things out ready for sale. though obviously a rare care . sounders via couple of classic car sites seem to show low interest in project car. but have managed to get information to show car (insurance etc) is worth at least £3k plus new parts thrown in . so would expect £4 as a decent sell point for his widow. anybody with more information please feel free to message.
