Summary

Today, the addition of replica has something disreputable about it, especially when it comes to classic cars. In 1932 it was quite different, promising entry into a world of motorsport as a more or less exact copy of a winner - like the Frazer Nash with chain drive. It was a quaint bird even then, but offered tangible advantages in races and long-distance driving.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Replica? That sounds like plastic where there should be sheet metal, like mismatched proportions, like a VW engine in the rear instead of an in-line eight-cylinder engine under the hood. As a classic car enthusiast in particular, you associate replicas with a walk through the valley of horror, into the automotive abyss, which, unless you are a masochist, you would hardly want to do to yourself. But in the case of the Frazer Nash TT Replica, this is completely the wrong approach! Firstly, this replica was built almost at the same time as the original, and secondly, the term "production racer" would probably have been more appropriate. The Frazer Nash TT Replica is nothing more than a small series, built according to the model that raced in the 1931 Tourist Trophy. At that time, the car was still called the Frazer Nash Boulogne II and performed well. By the following year, it had become its own model, the Frazer Nash TT Replica.
