*Used by the works for competition *Continuous history *A starter at the first South African Grand Prix *Recently restored The Frazer Nash was the direct descendant of the GN cycle car, a twin-cylinder, chain driven vehicle produced until 1922 by the partnership of Captain Archie Frazer-Nash and H R Godfrey.

Archie Frazer-Nash then formed a new company and in 1924 the first Frazer Nash appeared.

In 1928 Captain Frazer-Nash left the company, which then came under the control of H J and W H Aldington.

Between 1924 and 1954, when production effectively ceased, approximately 450 Frazer Nash cars were produced, of which 350 were pre-war 'Chain Gang' models.

Of these, 85 had the most popular TT Replica style of bodywork, which was offered between March 1932 and 1939.

The TT Replica was based on the cars that contested the 1931 Tourist Trophy Race, though none of the three cars entered actually finished the event.

In 1932 the cars fared better, one finishing 2nd in class.
