Description
FORD ASHLEY SPECIAL RACE CAR 6. 6 L BIG BLACK MANUAL GEARBOX
This Ford Ashley Special is a one-off bespoke creation rather than a kit, with its chassis basis believed to be that of a Ford Y-type registered in November 1937, although it has been substantially modified now. It features a fabricated front and rear shroud and cockpit area. The engine is a 1966 6. 6-litre Chevrolet 396 V8 (not fully run-in, having only done around 200 miles on Suffolk roads below 3500rpm) coupled to an A833 four-speed manual gearbox, with Jaguar Mk2 rear axle (on which the seals and bearings have been replaced). The front crossmember is MGB, as are the front steering rack, column and brakes; the brakes and the clutch are servo-assisted. The speedometer is a GPS type.
Documentation with the special includes the V5C, folders with photos and information on the build, and many invoices. There's also correspondence with the DVLA and HMRC plus component information
