Most references imply that AFN = "Archibald Frazer-Nash", not "Aldington Frazer-Nash". -- Hotlorp 19:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Agree! Deleted acronym explanation and added formation summary of AFN Ltd which pre-dates acquisition by HJ Aldington. Refer to Jenkinson and Thirlby.
Where did the "2" come from, for the number of Continentals built? I saw what I thought was the only one a couple of months ago at Prescott. -- Hotlorp 01:08, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Frazer Nash is Cockney rhyming slang for slash. But it's not easy to see where this fact might fit into the article. Martinevans123 ( talk) 13:33, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
The name of the article should be hyphenated.

The result of the move request was: page not moved. Most votes below oppose the move, so certainly no consensus in favour, and it's almost two weeks old. — Amakuru ( talk) 21:59, 26 June 2013 (UTC) ( non-admin closure)

Frazer-Nash – The company's name is hyphenated, as it is based on the founder's surname; for a reference, see the talkpage post above this.

Oppose: this article is about the Frazer Nash car company and that most certainly did not have a hyphen in spite of the founder having a hyphen in his name. There is no hyphen used by the Frazer Nash Club and they should know. The link quoted above takes you to an advert for Fraser-Nash spelt with an S not a Z so I don't think that is relevant. I don't know who they are. The current company which is mainly an engineering consultancy has a hyphen but they are not what this article is about. Malcolma ( talk) 09:55, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
This issue was covered in Throughbred and Classic Car magazine back in October 1981, unfortunately I no longer have a copy to inform you of it's conclusion and although I remember the article I don't remember the result, hopefully someone else has access.

If anyone still wants a copy of the Classic Cars article, please email me. Cheers. Martinevans123 ( talk) 22:04, 26 June 2013 (UTC) To summarise - the article says the car models used the hyphen, while the name of the manufacturer did not. So the question is - do the names of the cars in the image captions, and in the table, relate to individual models or to the manufacturer? Either way, I think they should be made consistent!
I note that there was a lengthy connection with BMW both pre-and post-war. Did FN ever badge some of their models with BMW badges? Reason I ask is that I have just watched a 1953 film "Park Plaza 605" and managed to identify a car in the film as a "Frazer Nash Targa Florio,", and I am pretty sure that I saw a BMW Logo on the bonnet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.7.195.132 ( talk) 12:16, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
One of the photographs is captioned "1956 Mille Miglia", but the article details state that the Mille Miglia model was in production only from 1948 to 1953. The additional details at the original photograph file state "(DVLA) first registered Year of manufacture 1956", so have the years of registration and manufacture been confused? Blurryman ( talk) 22:55, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
An acquittance being hired by "Frazier Nash", which I knew nothing of, and as I am curious, I search for it. No trace of "Frazier Nash", but obviously "Frazer-Nash consultancy, a KBR company" cut the deal. Hum... seems quite different though... until checked their our heritage. Looks like the modern day Frazer-Nash somehow relates to Nash & Thompson. This also explains why you can find both "Frazer Nash" and "Frazer-Nash"
Not sure the Frazer Nash consultancy is notorious enough to get its own page, but this requires son ambiguity treatment. I will try something 2A01:E0A:1DC:4570:1412:DAA4:63EB:B496 ( talk) 17:13, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
