During the 1920s and 1930s the name Frazer Nash was always associated with sports cars that were handbuilt and very functional, with a rakish and "sports car" appearance, so it was no surprise when Frazer Nash production restarted after the war with a modern car with a similar outward appearance. In 1949, the company introduced the finalised version of their "High Speed" model, equiped with the famous Bristol - BMW 1971 ccm six-in-line engine. To promote the car, the Aldington brothers - owners of Frazer Nash - entered a High Speed for the 24 hours race at Le Mans. The car ran splendidly, and finished 3rd overall, which was a huge success. The Aldingtons changed the name "High Speed" immediately in "Le Mans Replica", and by doing this they created the first car with the name "Replica" which actually wasn't a replica…

In total, only 34 examples were constructed, and these are now very sought after cars and easily reach values of 1,000,000 EUR and more. Luckily for the enthusiasts, there is an alternative. In the eighties, Mr. Werner Oswald decided to build 10 exact copies of the Mk1 Le Mans Replica, based on the original car from Frank Sytner. These so called Evocation cars are even rarer then the original, and most of them reside in private collections. This example is the very first car of the series, called WOK1, and was Werner Oswalds own car. After him, the car was owned by Peter Mann, another respected car collector. This Frazer Nash has a full service history, and recently the car was completely overhauled by renowned Bristol specialist Spencer Lane-Jones. The car comes with FIA Appendix K papers, and is ready for serious use.

This is a unique opportunity to own such an iconic car, at a fifth of the price of an original one. It is eligible for a lot of events, and it is great fun to drive on both road and track. Now available in our showroom.
