    Man that's a pretty car.

    Got a copy of the Chain Drive Frazer Nash book, thanks for the recommendation.

    I think the Frazer Nash Martyr still has the 1500cc Meadows 4ED motor fitted.

    Ciao,
    Zoran

    P.S.: Before I found posted the picture, I wanted to write: "Four white men in big American cruiser laughed to the black man in small European auto", but... Could it be overreacting? Let the picture tells the story in a better way...

    Hi Fred. I'm building a traditional front mounted V-twin cyclecar. 1930's style but with modern drivetrain, brakes, etc.

    IMG_4348.jpg Here is the steering wheel that I'm making for my cyclecar. 16" with thick section of Jarrah hardwood for the rim. Looks especially nice in the sun. Still applying Epifanes marine varnish to it. Spokes are turned to reduce glare. Work in progress.
