Frazer Nash TT Replica

1934 Frazer Nash TT Replica

Chassis 2120 |   BMC 448 

This Frazer Nash offers an extensive New Zealand history, period competition pedigree.

This 1934 Frazer Nash TT Replica, chassis 2120, is a particularly special example of one of Britain's most distinctive pre-war sports cars. Developed under the direction of H.R. Godfrey and Archie Frazer Nash.

Importantly, this particular car was actively campaigned in period, including appearances at famous British venues such as Shelsley Walsh and Brooklands.

In May 1938, the Frazer Nash was acquired directly from Frazer Nash by Godfrey Paape and shipped to New Zealand.

Following World War II and under new ownership the car returned to competition and continued its sporting life in New Zealand.

From 1946 through to the late 1950s, it passed through a few owners and underwent a number of mechanical developments, including the installation of hydraulic brakes.

In 1959, Tony Carroll of Riverhead  NZ acquired the car and undertook a comprehensive rebuild. During this period the AC six-cylinder engine was installed.

A substitute bevel gearbox was beautifully made using a Model A centre section .This is an interesting piece of the car's individual development and reflects the ingenuity often required to keep these important competition cars active during the post war period.

Carroll retained the Frazer Nash until 1976.

The current owner acquired the car in 1977, and for the following 40 years it continued to be actively used in competition, vintage motoring and touring events in New Zealand and abroad.

This is a car that has not spent its life hidden away in a collection. It has been driven, competed, developed and enjoyed.

Today, it presents with a wonderful period patina, reflecting its long and active life.

The car runs and drives well and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a Frazer Nash with genuine period competition history, long term New Zealand ownership and a fascinating mechanical and sporting history.
