Thanks Jon - should be driving it on the road any day now!

Thanks JW - after you mentioned it before I’ve been talking to them - think it may happen this year as it’s their 90th anniversary and also 90 years since Frazer Nash and BMW began their association. And as you get older - you get on with things!

Sorry. I’m playing with you!

THE DVLA GRANTED IT IN JUST 10 DAYS!!!!



I thought the shot of my daughter in law Zoe was the most appropriate to celebrate the wonderful news.

Thanks to all who helped with the process.

Since locating and then buying and importing the Frazer Nash/BMW this is the thing that really worried me most about the process - dealing with the DVLA. I don’...

Well spotted Dougal. And interesting news about the Pirellis. I’ll be in touch when I’ve tested what’s on there at the moment. All the best, Jeremy

Any BMW 319 roadsters there Neil? Pic please.

Well. This trip has everything from Rooster’s testicles to grand opera, and Freddie Mercury thrown in for good measure. Never let it be said that Neil and Mrs B’s trips are anything but exotic. Keep the exotica coming Neil.

But of course the car still wasn’t registered with its original number. And having the original number was really important to me for so many reasons. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240420/32f6c6767989b0a7281e96dd768cc3e3.jpg I wanted to buy back this car because it was my father’s.
