'Thoroughly workmanlike in appearance - as distinctive in looks as in performance and design - the Frazer Nash is 'different', and maintains its individuality in direct contrast to the average mass-production car of today' - Frazer-Nash advertisement in the December 1932 issue of Motor Sport magazine.
Frazer Nash produced some 83 examples of its TT Replica model between 1932 and 1938, some 56 of which were powered by either 1. 5-litre four cylinder engines by Meadows or Gough and 27 sported the 1. 6-litre Blackburne unit - the first six-cylinder engine ever fitted to a Frazer-Nash. A sophisticated double-overhead camshaft design crafted by H. J. Hatch of Burney & Blackburne Ltd, it was intended to broaden the marque's appeal beyond the hardcore enthusiast. Reputed to develop some 75bhp at 5, 000rpm, its gentle torque curve and notable smoothness were in sharp contrast to the Meadows unit upon which Frazer-Nash had come to rely so heavily. In keeping with their more refined nature, all but one of the Blackburne powered cars used the longer 9' wheelbase chassis as opposed to the 8. 75' alternative. Equipped with all round quarter-elliptic cantilever suspension, four-wheel drum brakes, idiosyncratic chain-drive transmission and hyper-direct rack and pinion steering (less than one turn lock-to-lock) they welcomed drivers to a world of extremely rapid 'power on' cornering and four-wheel drifts, and were capable of 80mph plus flat out.
