Frazer Nash BMW 328 Special (1938)(1985)

In November 1938 Lieutenant AIdenhoven of Loughton in Essex took delivery of a brand new Type 328 Frazer Nash-BMW from AFN Limited of Isleworth, the importer of the German cars. Built at the Eisenach works of BMW, these very advanced 2-litre cars were imported into the UK in right-hand-steering form, and marketed under the name of Frazer Nash-BMW, in accordance with an agreement drawn up by BMW (Munich) AG and AFN Limited, in 1934.

After the war the Frazer Nash-BMWs were much sought-after as being about the best all-round sports car that could be used in the variety of competitions which saw the sport getting back on its feet.
Raymond Way competed regularly with the car in those immediate post-war days, taking in almost anything that was available — the versatility of the 328 being demonstrated adequately as it took part in mud-trials, speed hill-climbs, driving tests and aerodrome racing.

In 1983 the derelict remains were acquired by a German BMW enthusiast, together with another Frazer Nash-BMW 328, and the two lots went to Germany. A year later the remains of 85.297 (alias KHX 173 and NKA 9) came back to England, having been acquired by a member of the Vintage Sports Car Club. The intention was to use the chassis frame and such bits as were salvageable to build up a 328 for VSCC racing, and to have the chassis put back to Fraser Nash-BMW specification. A BMW engine was built up from parts to replace the Fiat engine, and to clothe it was a new 328 body.
