Frazer Nash
Frazer Nash was a British car manufacturer renowned for its innovative and distinctive chain-driven sports cars. Founded by Archibald Frazer-Nash in 1922, the company initially gained attention for its unique transmission system, which used chains and sprockets instead of a conventional gearbox. This design allowed for quick gear changes and reduced mechanical complexity, making Frazer Nash cars particularly popular in racing and hill-climb events during the 1920s and 1930s. The marque’s early models, such as the Frazer Nash Super Sports and the Frazer Nash Ulster, were celebrated for their agility, lightweight construction, and competitive performance. After World War II, Frazer Nash transitioned away from chain-driven designs, introducing more conventional vehicles while still maintaining their commitment to performance and quality. Notable post-war models included the Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica and the Frazer Nash Targa Florio, both of which achieved success in international motorsport. The company also became the British importer for BMW cars in the 1930s, which influenced some of their later designs.
