This beautifully presented special is a 1918/1928 race car, powered by a Curtiss OX-5 aero engine mounted on a Frazer Nash derived chain-driven chassis.
Built-in 2000-2004 by Roger Sweet, former Formula 2 race driver and RAF pilot. For the production of the self-designed body, he commissioned Stuart Roach, of Roach Engineering in the UK which was certainly the best choice for such a project.
Roger called his car "Franziss" a contraction of Frazer-Nash-Curtiss.
The Curtiss OX was the most important and successful American aero engine of the first world war. It was the first mass produced aircraft engine in the United States which came available in 1915 and it was used in various capacities throughout the war. The Curtiss-powered OX 5 Jenny biplanes were water cooled, 503 cubic inches and were 8.2 liter units weighing 395 pounds (177kg). This engine was capable of producing 90 horsepower. It has a distinct feature - its rockers are exposed allowing for the components to be observed while the engine is running. The engine of our car is also equipped with the desirable Miller roller rocker conversion. Mark Walker, UK 05 expert and successful aaero engine racing car builder and driver states " A lovely engine – dead reliable, beautifully made and bloody quick."
The car is beautifully engineered and has been featured at VSCC events in the UK since it debuted at April Silverstone 2004. From 2004 to 2013 Roger raced his Franzniss not only in the UK (Mallory Park, Oulton Park etc .) but also in the US at Watkins Glen, Lime Rock Historics and Elkhart Lake as well as in France. With every race Roger improved engine and the car technically making it faster and more powerful every step, until finally it was both blisteringly fast and very reliable.
In 2013 Roger started another project so decided to part with his creation.
Franziss found a new home in the VOLANTE Collection in Germany. Along with the car came tons of documents, designs and drawings, manuals, and handwritten notes. Immediately the new owners started to draw a modified sleeker body for the car because in his eyes Franziss was a bit too wide around the hips. Again Stuart Roach was commissioned, and the results speak for itself.
With the new body came a new name the Frazer Nash Curtiss became the Curtiss Frazer Nash.
This is a blistering fast car that recently had an extensive engine check over at Blakeney motorsport in the UK.
A spare OX 5 engine can be included in the sale at an additional cost.
