The history of the Frazer-Nash company dates back to the early 1920s and was founded by Archibald Frazer-Nash. Along with partner Ron Godfrey, the duo would play on the popularity of the small cycle-car resulting in sales of over 400 cars by the mid-1930s. There popular 'GN' cycle-car was powered by a twin-cylinder engine fitted into a primitive, yet effective, frame. The true uniqueness of the car was in the use of chain drive rather than shaft drive. The most popular of this new breed of Frazer-Nash models was the 'TT Replica'. It had many similarities to the famous Model TT and would account for a very impressive 83 sales from 1932 through 1938. The base engine was a Gough (after the man who designed it) four-cylinder engine though a Meadows and Blackburne were also used. The Blackburne unit was a six-cylinder version. It rode on a 105-inch or 108-inch wheelbase, had a hand brake lever and gear lever that were both outside the bodywork, and a full range of instrumentation.
