484 Crosthwaite & Gardiner (Frazer Nash LeMans Replica) Replica) YRO 405
Crosthwaite & Gardiner (Frazer Nash LeMans Replica) Replica (not known) Engine 1971cc S4 OHV
Engine Number 1051 (Frazer Nash)
The Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica (1948-52) and Le Mans Replica II (1952-53) was originally the High Speed, renamed after its 1949 Le Mans third place finish Built as a competition two seater and powered by a Bristol 1971cc triple carburettor engine of 120bhp, the engine differing from the standard version in having larger valves and ports, and magnesium sump
The later Lemans Replica II was even more stark, and with a 125bhp engine, and De Dion rear end.
In the 1960's or 70's Crosthwaite and Gardiner built a number of replicas, after their restoration of an original frame following a racing accident. These cars used a duplicate tubular chassis and running gear from scrapped Bristols. The finished cars had copies of the Le Mans Replica bodies with the correct instruments and trim. An observer has identified the main differences between the C&G replicas and original LeMans Replica as having mostly Austin brakes nd rear axles, brakes, wire wheels. Scuttle in front of steering wheel is flat, not humped to fit speedometer and tachometer; The bodies appear ccurate, probably better than most Oswald cars.
YRO 405
Originally registered YRO 405 before being shipped to New Zealand by long term owner David Starling (Waikanae Beach, NZ), where it was registered YH 7559. Car sold in 2008 by Auto Classics near Wellington, New Zealand; then sent to Italy (August, 2009).In 2013 purchased by Simon Park from Francesco di Lauro and repatriated it to England, the New Zealand registration being replaced by the original YRO 405. It retains the historic "Mille Miglia" FNS engine.
Many thanks for a fantabulous
