Just because they're not fast doesn't mean that they're slow.
Adorable Owlet...
Love to see a car like this driven hard
Whoever set her up is genius
Absolutely fabulous. Toe in, love it. Haven't heard that for along time.
I watched this car go round the day before and have never seen anything like it. Utterly amazing. Blistering.
its always incredible watching patrick
I want one!! 🤩👍👍👍
Loved it, every second, great little gal she is!
Wow for prewar that pulls some revs!!!!
He sure wasn't leaving much on the table for that run.
Fantastic car. driven well
That thing is crazy, never heard of it either!
What a pilot !
Stunning , car and pilot in unison . 👍🇬🇧
spent a long time in the motor trade and qualified mechanic by trade though not for the last 20 years felt I had to comment, :-)..Mike
Fantastic! High speed, high rpm. Very thanks
Thumps up for the video of this superb unique car!
A saloon racing car - WOW!
Incredible!
One of the most satisfying drives, is to take a "slow" car by the scruff, and shake it round a set of twisties, as fast as its limits will allow. From the looks of it, wrangling this Owlet beats EVERYTHING I have ever driven! In fact, I cannot say with any certainty, that I have been nearly as entertained, watching anything else go round a course.
it looks so gentlemanly, top hat and gloves but what a beast ! lol excellent stuff.
Toe in? It's Positive camber on the front wheels that make them sit like they do, like Hillman Imp front wheels were the same. Negative camber is the opposite
Came here to make this comment. Good job.
Yes correct
Absolutely!
Brilliant 😅
Legend
Is great to see this old timers being driven as they where designed to be, not being shined on some rich man's garage just looking pretty and not being driven at all.
that would have been f'ing wild back in '28
Well it makes a change from all the trailer queens
Thats a really fast car
Brass !!! 😱
Steering is almost as big as the wheels
I’ve seen Muscle cars being wrung by their big, fat necks, I’ve seen Japanese Twincam cars being treated the same, however nothing but nothing beats a chain driven Frazer Nash!
At least ‘speed wise’.
Is this another Goodwood Revival special? ie. no racing history, just prepared solely for this meeting.
Jesus... Narrow as hell, no differential. Cool as hell
I googeled the license plate. It only says 1496cc. I don't think it has the original horsepower stated on the Frazer Nash wiki page. I would love some more info.
Tow in? I think he means Camber :)
No differential? How is that possible? Chain drive?
Yeah, there's another vid on here that showcases the car bit. It gives an idea of how hard it actually is to steer the car too and let's one appreciate just how amazing it is to run it as fast as he does :D
This car is a Frazer-Nash. The transmission is shall we say, a little unusual. There's a clutch on the engine flywheel as usual, and it drives a shaft running backwards. Under the seat there's a pair of bevel gears driving a cross-shaft, with four sprockets on it, the gear selector is used to lock (one of) them to the cross-shaft. The rear axle is parallel to this cross shaft, it's simply a solid open shaft, with sprockets on it, driven by chains from the input shaft. So there's a gang of four chains between the input shaft and rear axle, and one of them taking the power. (That's why these cars are referred to as 'Chain Gang' Nashes) And no chance to mount a differential.
Not really the question you are asking, and there is a very complete answer already, but the majority of what is normally meant by "chain drive" cars and trucks do have a differential.
Typically the engine drives a gearbox which either incorporates a differential or then drives a second differential mounted to the chassis forward of the rear wheels. Then a chain on each side drives the wheels. For unsprung mass it is a fairly good design and it makes torque reaction very easy to handle as the diff just needs to be solidly bolted to the chassis.
Engine ? Inline 4 ?
the video is interleaved
Spooky.
Lets see how well it does against my 2018 Mustang . It just looks slow to me . I hope you think I am kidding . Because I am . I am just thinking how most Americans thinks . I really own a MGTD Mark 2 . and it is slow but I love these little cars . They are fun to drive and they are I think real cars should be .
Fast is relative.
