Description
Engine number: 10303 Chassis number: 2117 Original number plate: BMC445 Engine: 4-cylinder 1, 496 cm3 producing 90 bhp Transmission: 4-speed gearbox Meadows engine The car is fitted with a 1. 5-litre in-line engine manufactured by Henry Meadows Ltd. This particular engine is one of the few racing variants of the 50 produced. It was upgraded with a baffled head featuring revised port shapes and larger valves. These modifications increase turbulence in the combustion chamber, resulting in more power. This engine has a remarkable history, having belonged to Miss V. M. Wilby (registration YG6020), a well-known female rally driver at the time. In 2018, the car underwent a complete rebuild of the HCS engine, ensuring its optimum performance. Chain gang One of the most striking features of this car is the 'chain gang'. The axle has a sprocket with the same number of teeth as the drive shaft, which is driven by the main sprocket with additional sprockets to adjust the gearing. This configuration makes it possible to adapt to different driving conditions, whether cruising or sprinting. Four-speed transmission The Frazer Nash is equipped with a simple but highly effective four-speed transmission. It consists of externally mounted gears attached to a cross shaft located just in front of the rear axle. This transmission has proven to be reliable and efficient. Condition This Frazer Nash is probably one of the most beautiful and authentic cars you will ever come across. Its current owner has carefully maintained it for over 25 years and has actively participated in numerous rallies during that time. The car has been regularly serviced at HCS, and in 2018 the engine was completely rebuilt. The car is represented by Historic Competition Services in Antwerp, Belgium.
