FactBy 1928 the Frazer Nash Super Sports had ditched running boards entirely — a bare, stripped-down look almost no other car of the era dared offer.
The Frazer Nash Fast Tourer and Super Sports, the marque's earliest production models (165 built), used the company's signature multi-chain transmission — a system unique to Frazer Nash among British sports-car makers of the era, continued through the 1930s pre-war range (Colmore, TT Replica, Ulster 100) and after the war until 1957. A 1.5-litre in-line four, mainly by Anzani (some early cars by Plus Power), powered the range; the Super Sports (from 1928) dropped the running boards of the Fast Tourer. Wheelbase 105 in (2,667 mm) on the standard chassis, with a shorter 99 in (2,515 mm) option on the Super Sport.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
