A fine scratchbuilt Frazer-Nash 'TT Replica' scale model, circa 1948,
engineer-built model of the famous 'Chain-Gang' Nash, renowned icon of the true Vintage Sports Car, constructed of mainly metal and brass on a conventional chassis of channel-section side-members and cruciform cross-bracing to centre-section, with suspension by double quarter-elliptic springing to front, live rear-axle transmission (not following the chain-drive principle of the original), under-bonnet features include a 4-cylinder in-line side-valve pattern model motor with detachable cylinder-head, the chassis and suspension well-detailed with dummy brake drums with knock-off eared hubcaps retaining the removable triple outside-laced spoked wire wheels fitted with Dunlop 'Trackgrip' rubber tyres, steering linkage with track-rods and drag-link, steering box and column and four-spoke steering wheel.

All bright-work is chromed brass, and minute detail is applied to the fold-flat windscreen with threaded wing-nut adjustments, fold-flat aero screens, external exhaust with triple-branch manifold, downpipes, silencer and distinctive 'fish-tail', also including miniature battery-electric headlamps, side and tail-lamps, all still wired and mostly retaining original bulbs, controlled by a miniature dash switch. Other detailed chromed fittings include the spring-loaded bonnet-catches, ratchet fly-off handbrake and outside gear-change lever.

The bodywork, constructed partly of aviation-quality Perspex and thin-gauge hand-beaten brass or aluminium panels, painted in red enamel original livery, and hinged bonnet with twin rows of multi-louvered panels, and subsidiary hinges to each side, the near-side panel relieved to accommodate the external exhaust-pipes. The passenger door, with concealed catch and external handle and interior featuring a pair of bucket seats with pleated leather squabs and backs, with rear compartment covered by a 'double-duck' type canvas tonneau cover with miniature 'lift-a-dot' pattern fittings.

Above the gearbox are two external reduction gears to the rear of the block, previously activating a battery-electric drive-train, and the radiator has a separate core within the chromed shell, which features the distinctive filler-cap and miniature lozenge-shaped badge. The engine appears to be an alloy cast block with detachable head and sump, with a cast exhaust manifold section with threaded holes to accommodate sparking plugs.

Measuring 60cm long, a remarkably accurate representation of the famous Chain-Gang Nash, and presented in 'barn-find' condition, latterly dry-stored. Built to exhibition-standard just after WWII, and bearing remnant traces of the original number plate inscribed 'ERG 1948', believed to represent the year of construction and the initials of the model-maker, who may have owned an original car of this type, offered together with an original programme for the Model Engineering Exhibition of 1948 held at the Horticultural Halls in London.
