It's an Ashley body, yes, but that is the easy bit..
It's not based on a Ford E93A so you'll need to do a bit of digging!

No, it is an MGA engine which you (almost) got..
Just looking for the chassis now.

This car uses an Ashley 1172 body, but there is more to it.

So a little more digging put it on a lengthened Fairthorpe Zeta chassis with an MGA engine and gearbox along with sundry Triumph bits.

Well found, another point for you.

As a fellow autopuzzler pointed out, it is a repost and I'll merge the two puzzles.
