Also renowned as the founder of the Frazer Nash car company. Which, as well as producing devices of their own conception, became pre-war, the first outfit to import BMWs into the UK. A feat they would repeat post-war, with the rival Porsche brand. Better known as AFN, they became part of the Porsche Retail Group in 2002.
Note the lack of hyphen in the name of the car company. This is intentional and, as Frazer Nashers (who ALL have beards) will not tire of telling you, pedantically correct.
Why? Who knows? You’d have to ask Archie. But he’s dead, so you can’t. And who cares anyway? Not us. Do you? No. Well there you are.
