1950 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica - Chassis #421/100/112, Engine #FNS1/51

Originally painted green (it is now finished in a dark blue), it was exhibited at the 1950 Turin Motor Show.

Dennis Jenkinson reported that FN112 was completed and delivered between 421/100/111 in March 1950 (to Lady Mary Grosvenor) and 421/100/113 which was completed and delivered in July 1950 to David H. Murray (later of Ecurie Ecosse fame).

Its original registration plate number was 250995 (Milan), followed by FP2 (UK) 1976, followed by XOU3 (UK) from 1980 to the present day.

Rebuilt by Crosthwaite & Gardiner for David Penney, this car was subsequently exhibited at the Midland Motor Museum in August 1982, and was then sold by Sothebys to Michael Fisher on July 3rd, 1988. It was then sold to Victor Gauntlett (of Aston Martin fame), and subsequently went to my friend, Bill Clark, in New Zealand who has owned it ever since (that is until I recently talked him out of it).

This 1950 Mark I Le Mans replica Frazer Nash represents perhaps the last of the stark, vintage, cycle-fendered production sports cars.
