Frazer Nash Le Mans Coupe

It's always interesting walking round the various car club displays at historic race meetings, and here's a photograph I took at the Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 2001.
The Frazer Nash Car Club displayed various vehicles, including this 1954 Frazer Nash Le Mans Coupe. Its chassis number is 421/200/197 and it was delivered to its first owner, Anthony Twentyman, in August 1954. It was Frazer Nash's 1954 Earls Court Motor Show car and has the BMW derived Bristol 2 litre engine, serial number 100A/319. There a potted history and several photographs of the car in this portfolio by Pendine Historic Cars Limited when they offered the car for sale a few years back.

The car behind it is the 1953 Frazer Nash Targa Florio that I featured on 19 September 2015.
