1906 Brasier Race About
John Deveuve’s 5300 cc 1906 Brasier Race About, BS 8606 race No. 120, on the Prescott speed hill climb during the Vintage Sports Car Club event on 7th August 2021.
This car is an example of the 25/36HP – a new model for 1906 being fitted with an L Head side valve engine design, instead of the previous T Head system, designed to give improved breathing. Aside from this the Brasier followed the previous pattern of powerful Brasier cars, having twin-chain drive, a pressed steel chassis, sliding pinion type 4-speed gearbox with quadrant gear change. The 24/36HP Brasier had a capacity of 5.3-litres and was a high-quality car of impressive performance, as one would expect from a firm with the competition pedigree of Brasier.
