Thanks for that Stephen, it's quite a bit older than I thought it might be. I was one of those that was surprised at how well it did perform. I'm not really much of a car buff, but I do like these older cars. To be honest, I'd never heard of the Fraser Nash before Sunday. I heard the commentator say the name and asked the guy behind me "Do you know what kind of car Fraser Nash is driving?" Raised a smile and a brief explanation! Every day's a school day as they say. Thanks again :p
A good place to see Frazer Nash's is at the Vintage Sports Car Club Cadwell Park race meeting, it has already been on this year but it is a good event, a grid of about 25 Frazer Nash's all sliding it round the tight track is brilliant and gives the event a great buzz!!
It's a 1934 TT Replica, Frazer Nash. Frazer Nash cars had their own unique chain drive transmission, which looks very different from the normal gearbox we are used to but its was effective then and obviously still works well..Think the commentator and the crowd were very suprised at the 'Nash's performance especially as its only got a 1.5L, 4 cylinder engine propelling it along.. James was drifting it nicely round those corners and its sounds great.

Great driving from James in the Nash. The car was made to be driven and it's great to see it being driven hard. :-)

It is really impressive, very good drivers and fully worth the money for the day

Now that would be impressive!
It's a great looking car, got a good workout and produced the goods too! Any idea how old it might be?
