I’m in Hawling but the show is a joint one with Brockhampton as they have a few more residents… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted October 1, 2023 Share #20644  Posted October 1, 2023 The signature triangular quarter-panel windows found it for me. Frazer-Nash Fixed Head Le Mans Coupé - 1953-55/56 - dropped out of the 1956 Le Mans at 100 laps. Just missed a top 10 finish in 1954 (placed 11th) - 13th place 1953. Did not run at all in the actual 1955 race, that I can see, which may have misled Wilson. The front end (which we have not seen yet) strongly resembles the roofless F-N Sebring - might have been a dead giveaway.  http://www.frazernasharchives.co.uk/index.php?idPage=36 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted October 1, 2023 Share #20647  Posted October 1, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had actually googled Frazer Nash (my son currently works for their defence division) Sebring Coupé but it looked nothing like this car. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted October 1, 2023 Share #20648 Â Posted October 1, 2023 There are definitely a couple of different rooflines - more domed, or flatter. (prototype vs. the other 8, or vice-versa?) BTW I am in the middle of a post-event editing marathon, so it may be a couple of days before I can find and post something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what qualifies as "exceptionally" fast in this strata of autodom. Appears to top out at around 200 mph ±. Not the fastest this marque has produced. Don't have a wider view of this part - but perhaps if we pan a bit aft, around Nigel's favorite filler cap....? Welcome, dear visitor!

adan Posted October 5, 2023 Share #20659  Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Right again. For extra credit, any one want to guess at the version and likely year(s) of production? This one is in what we in Leica-world would call "user condition." But still pretty and "fast-looking" at a distance. Welcome, dear visitor!

NigelG Posted October 5, 2023 Share #20660 Â Posted October 5, 2023 Endless model variants, special editions, globally specific versions and run-out models so it's hard to tell. I still think there should be an extra point for getting the Leica connection! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
