Of the 350 celebrated, chain-driven pre-war cars built by Frazer Nash, 83 examples were finished with bodywork replicating that of the Works machines campaigned in the 1931 Tourist Trophy. These were accordingly named “TT Replicas”. Among them, chassis number 2150 offered here. Constructed by AFN Ltd of Isleworth and finished in light blue, this long-chassis example—more accommodating for the taller driver—was delivered new to Mr R G Schwalm in March 1935. Originally fitted with a 1.66-litre Blackburne six-cylinder engine, it was acquired in 1937 by architect David S Soutar of Aberdeen, Scotland and changed to black.

Following myriad hill climb entries, many notably with the Bugatti Owners Club at Prescott, the Frazer Nash was bought by Mr W E Wykes in 1945 and then by Mr Ian D Gostling, back in the car’s hometown of Isleworth, in 1950. He had an AC engine installed before Mr W E Court took ownership and subsequently had a Frazer Nash-made Gough motor fitted.

The TT Replica was later acquired by Mr Michel Tietze of Twickenham. He had the car rebuilt for competition use before selling it to Mr Tom Threlfall, President of the Vintage Sports-Car Club. Per a letter on file from Mr Threlfall, he owned the car from January 1974 to June 1975. Then, in 1980, the Frazer Nash moved hemispheres, having been purchased by renowned collector Peter Briggs for his York Motor Museum in Western Australia. Following a near three-decade spell as part of its stable, chassis 2150 duly returned to the United Kingdom under the care of prominent specialist Patrick Blakeney-Edwards. He had a rebuilt Meadows 4ED engine fitted in addition to overhauling the hydraulic brakes and installing a new rear axle , clutch, prop shaft, and exhaust system.

Purchased in 2013 by a noted collector and since acquired by the vendor, the Frazer Nash has more recently competed on the Flying Scotsman rally and in the Goodwood Members’ Meeting. Ideally suited for further road and track use, including the Frazer Nash Car Club’s famous “Raids”, chassis 2150 is accompanied by a VSCC Eligibility Document issued in June 2013, period photographs, issues of magazine and Chain Driven Gazette, further to hill climb programmes dating from 1946.
