    Wow! The Spitfire looks lovely with that hard top on!

    Once had to source a hard top from Ashley for a Jaguar XK - they're expensive but they were the only people I could find and they come highly recommended. The 'buyer' didn't go for it in the end though.

    Sorry Matra-et-Alpine - must have been in a foul mood that day. But we had Daimler Darts at home for some odd reason. Ghastly cars - not a patch on the DH limousines and I remember finding them aesthetically unpleasing even when I was little.

    In later years they did hardtops and fastbacks for some classic British sportscars --- one turned up in one of our many guessing of cars posts

    Hi all,

    It's a Triumph Spitfire 4 with an Ashley Hardtop circa 1960's, see The Ashley Sportiva Story : My story
