Yes it belonged to Ben Williamson who sold it a few years ago.

Its a 1.6 auto & is rare as its a deluxe model & early so it has the Stingrays on the front wings.

here's a pic i took at Billing in 2013 when it won an award

Good looking Ascona, Dave. I've just seen you have a different front grille on this pic compared to your signature pic. Which is the original? This one with the silver/black looks very classy anyway!

That passengers mirror was the hardest part to source, I found it in an abandoned Ascona on the Greek island of Kefalonia,  I borrowed tools to go and take it off and had to have the whole inside door rail too.

The Grey grille was the original, I prefer it especially with the clear indicator lenses.  But, its not my car anymore !

 

I am glad its loved and looked after. I do miss it a bit.

Still a stunning car Paul, i miss it a bit too, still love seeing it now and again, i actually quite like the earlier black grill to be honest and i still think it needs that front spoiler on it. I believe thats on james blue ascona now.

Yes, it's a lovely looking car.  I put a lot of time into getting that back on the road.

It was a bit like driving the British Museum though, with the 1.6 and the auto box.  The 2.0ltr is much better at keeping up with modern traffic.

Still up for sale - I do hope it goes to a good home and is kept as nature intended....
