This 1968 Ashley GT is a right-hand drive coupe utilizing Triumph Spitfire Mk III underpinnings, heavily modified with an integrated fastback top and one-piece fiberglass front end. The car retains its Triumph drivetrain and other mechanicals along with the interior, but manages to keep a good visual distance from its parental model on the outside. Notably, this is a period-built Ashley and not one of the continuation models still being offered. Find it here on mobile.de in Scharbeutz, Germany for 15k euros (-$17,300 USD today).

There were several coachbuilders that produced integrated hardtops and and modified nose pieces for the Spitfire and other small British roadsters of the era, and Ashley kits can be identified by their left-hand fuel filler caps, slightly larger quarter windows and a sharply-cut Kamm tail as well as enclosed headlamps and a central hood bulge. Olive green is a bit faded, and we think the car would look better wearing BRG. The one piece front-end, top and decklid are all fiberglass, and there’s no signs of cracking that we can see. Most Ashleys we’ve seen are fitted with rear bumperettes which are notably absent here.

The interior is largely standard Triumph-spec. It’s tough to get a detailed read on the condition of the wooden dash insert and wheel rim, but they appear good enough from a distance. Carpets look OK too, and the driver’s seat bottom shows some loose leather.

Triumph’s twin side-draft breathing 1300cc four is nestled under the one-piece front end, and should be good for about 75 HP in stock form. The seller says this one has had a new alternator and water pump fitted, and that fluids were also recently changed. A stainless exhaust is a nice upgrade too.

We think Ashleys are some of the better looking British roadster kits produced, and this one’s period build history and apparently good driver condition make it worth a closer look,
