Frazer Nash Sebring History

The Sebring was introduced in 1954 as the ultimate expression of the post-war Frazer Nash competition formula, named for the 12 Hours of Sebring that a Frazer Nash had won at the inaugural 1952 running. It replaced the Le Mans Replica as the prime racing model, using the Le Mans Replica Mk II's parallel-tube chassis with wire wheels and, in two of the three cars, a de Dion rear axle.

The body design blended the Le Mans Coupé nose and grille with a Mille Miglia-style tail, each car individually tailored to its owner's specification. The Bristol 2-litre engine was tuned to approximately 140 bhp on an 8.8:1 compression ratio, making the Sebring the most powerful road-going Frazer Nash offered to the public.

Only 3 Sebrings were ever built — all three are confirmed to survive. Production of all Frazer Nash models ceased in 1957, ending 35 years of the marque and roughly 435 cars in total across the chain-drive and post-war eras.
