I believe this is the Gnat fitted with an Ashley body and built by Harvey Braun in 1969

That is the car, but it's not got an Ashley body... can you tell me what body it does use, and why you might have been mistaken?

Locked for you, of course

Mmmm... should have checked before rushing to post!

It used a Heron Plastics body and the car may be called an Ashley Gnat?

That's the one!
There was some confusion over the heritage of the car due to the Ashley name, but in fact it has nothing to do with the Ashley company.
Another well-deserved point for you.
