Engine is probably Anzani, could be Meadows. My late Sister & Brother in law had a Blackburn engine TT replica, although no longer a Blackburn due to metal fatigue. She died just before Christmas & I think the estate is putting it up for sale. Here is a picture of it in N-Z in 2005 during the U.K. 'Nash club "Raid". Bonus points for the Porsche conection. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171689734.jpg |

Bloody 'orrible! |
dagriff...100% correct. Frazer-Nash "Chain Gang" with Anzani engine. My condolences on your sister. They had one beautiful F-N, and I'm sure it will fetch a goodly sum.
I'm stumped on the Porsche connection, though. |

I wish I had the $ to buy it. The first time I rode in it as a small boy started my passion for cars & left me like this, all Toad of Toad Hall. Still feel the same about cars. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171691907.jpg |
I know what the experience is like to have a ride in a really significant car...I had a ride in one of these, that my dad could have bought for $2,000, in 1969. He passed since he'd just bought a 41 Packard convertible for $1,000.
DOH!! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171692784.jpg |

How about this car, made just down the road from where I grew up. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1171736769.jpg |
That's gotta be a Bristol.
Wonderful cars. Would love to get one. |
Yes a Bristol.
I tried to get a job there when I left school, they said they only employee skilled craftsmen, come back when you have done an apprenticship. The factory is on the same site as BAC & Rolls-Royce aero division, apparently it is easier to walk into the guided weapons section than get passed the Bristol Car security! |
I seem recall that those crazy brothers from the band Oasis (whatever they names were) had a vast collection of Bristols that they flogged around the English countryside.
Meant to be one of the finest cars ever for going from A to B fast and in comfort and style. If I ever retire to Cornwall - that would have to be the ticket. |
Time for another one...
