1965 ASHLEY SPORTIVA COUPE - RETROLEGENDS, HOLLAND

Passports at the ready, for today's Classic of the Day as we visit Retrolegends in Holland, where they hold a mixed bag of worldwide classics.
 1965 ASHLEY SPORTIVA COUPE
 Very light fiber glass body with big V6 Ford engine. Ashley was the producer of the hardtops for the Austin-Healey.  Ashley has been producing cars from 1958 till about 1968. You have to drive and experience this car, particulary on the race track, to appreciate this sports car.

The Sportiva was available as a bodyshell or with an “Ashley” chassis.
Like the 1172 it was available in open or closed form and with two or four seats. The Sportiva was an upgrade of the 1172 with a restyled front end. The rear end of the Sportiva was later restyled
