Saw it at Goodwood last year and it was being driven in a rather enthusiastic fashion. Probably the best thing I saw from the angles of drift he was getting from it.

I was trying to work out what engine was in it. Whatever it is, it's on SU carbs and sounds a bit naughty. Is the rear track narrower than the front or is it just my eyes?

Frazer Nash cars usually came with a 1.5 litre engine either by Anzani or Meadows. The Anzani engine was a side valve unit and the one in the this car is OHV, so it must be the Meadows engine. Early Frazer Nash cars were chain driven, with a solid rear axle (no differential), so the narrow rear track width was used to help to reduce speed difference across the axle in corners. This also explains the characteristic Frazer Nash sideways drift in corners. |
