SOLVED: si_652 - Frazer Nash - Shelsley - 1935

Where is the next winding road? Which racer is it waiting for? Manufacturer, type and year of manufacture are enough.

Lavrakas is right, it is a Frazer Nash Shelsley. But not from 1934, so locked for Lavrakas to correct the year of manufacture.

Yes, especially the turbocharged version, but be careful with the gearbox!

Your joke is a bit subtle but I'll just say that neither turbocharger nor gearbox were to be found on a 1935 Frazer Nash

You changed gear by lifting a little lid behind the seats and just moving the chain over.  ;D

Nothing could be easier...
Btw.: I would call a box with several gears shifted by chains a gearbox... :-)
