Historic cars on show for the first time
For the first time, the River & Rowing Museum at Henley on Thames in the UK is showcasing over 100 years of legendary Frazer Nash automobile history and hosting a series of adult and family events to accompany the exhibition.
Two historic cars will be on display in the Lord Kirkham Gallery. The 1951 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica, Sir Stirling Moss’ British Empire Trophy winning car, is over 60 years old with a top speed of 120 mph and one of only 29 ever made.
The Museum will also showcase the earliest Frazer Nash still in existence, the 1925 PlusPower Sports Tourer, charting a significant development in automobile engineering in the first half of the 20th Century.
The exhibition includes the narrative of Archie Frazer Nash as a 21-year old ex-engineering apprentice who, with his friend, Ron Godfrey, designed a unique ‘cyclecar’ in 1910.
This paved the way for the competitive sports cars that created the ‘Chain Gang’, the name given to leading Frazer Nash drivers using their distinctive chain-drive system.
The history of these cars is all brought to life at the River & Rowing Museum with an array of photographs, trophies and other memorabilia of the cars and those who raced them, illuminating this giant of British motor sport.
Accompanying the exhibition is a series of nine events for all ages, including ‘Under the Bonnet’, where Peter Livesey of the Frazer Nash Archives will be the ‘lifting the bonnet’ on the cars in the exhibition, exploring how they work and their history, and ‘Vroomm Vroomm!’ where children will get the opportunity to make, play and experiment with things that move.
The River & Rowing Museum, recently ranked in the Top 50 museums in the world by The Times, has a purpose built education centre visited by over 20,000 children and adults a year.
Tickets are £8.50 for adults and £6.50 for children and provide free access for one year.
