Only three were ever produced.
Frazer Nash was a British spots car manufacturer and engineering company founded in 1922. Producing cars and motorbikes up to the start of World War Two, the company temporarily switched to manufacturing turrets for aircraft bombers including the famous Lancaster.
Following the end of the war, Frazer Nash returned to car manufacturing. Utilising a Britol built engine which was derived from a BMW 328 brought back from Germany in 1948, they began to build a series of notable sports and racing cars, the most famous of which is arguably the Frazer Nash Sebring.
Event organiser Thomas Heavey says "To have one of these cars at the show is a privilege. Along with all the other classic cars, tractors, steam engines that will be on show, there will be something of interest for everyone."
Regarded as one of the most important of all post war Frazer Nash cars produced, this two-door roadster has a special front suspension system using a double wishbone confirmation and a different rear suspension. This combination wasn't used on the other Sebrings or any other Frazer Nash car produced. It also had an upgraded engine, fin brake drums and an aluminium petrol tank. The 2.0 engine is a naturally aspirated, overhead valve, 6-cylinder that produces 140bhp and has a maximum speed of 209km/h (130mph) which was highly regarded at the time. It could go from 0-60mph in 8 seconds (0-100km/h) in 8.3 seconds.
Ireland Heads West for Emma takes place in Ballybrit Racecourse on Saturday 28 (from 3-9pm) and on Sunday 29 June (10am-6pm).
The main sponsor of the event is Sweeny Oil.
