Here is a unique opportunity to acquire a high performance Ashley GT Sprite. Assembled using a totally rust free late Spridget chassis, custom created rear wings, early Sprite dash and later Spritecomponents. High end build, nothing was overlooked.1275 bored 30 over, flat top pistons, Kent cam and lifters, adjustable timing gear, ported and polished head, fully balanced internals, Weber 45, electronic ignition, dual coils, dual fuel pumps, alloy flywheel, custom racing clutch and pressure plate, alloy radiator, electric fan, HD springs, fully adjustable suspension and tube shock conversion, racing brake pads, sway bars, header and high performance exhaust, and a whole lot more.

I personally imported all Ashleybody parts and fittings from the UK at great expense. Show quality paint work in BRG, gorgeous rally seats and interior in sage green, custom leather padded roll bar, spline mounted spare wheel, all new gauges and switches, Mota Lita wood steering wheel, rear fog light, front projector supplemental driving lights, all ancillaries, brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank, all mechanical,electrical, hydraulicitems, etc.were addressed, nothing was overlooked to create a true high performance reliable GT. Everything is new or as new.Cannot be duplicated at the asking price.

Built to compete in this years New England 1000 mile road rally finishing 1st. A true giant killer, 1500 lbs, approximately 110-120 hp.Very quick, comfortable, ridesand handles extremely well. A bit snortyand a great deal of fun. Over 600 hours were invested in this build. Needs nothing, ready to be enjoyed now.
