Porsche – original new old stock 1990s Manhattan Products AFN keyring – collector’s item

A superb original new old stock AFN Porsche dealership keyring which we would think will have been produced during the 1990s .

We have just this one example of this keyring in new old stock condition to offer  – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

We are also currently listing another AFN keyring in slightly used condition ( unless now sold )

These are the only original AFN keyrings which we have ever listed .

Original AFN dealership keyrings do not come any better than this keyring .

Produced by Manhattan Products of Birmingham who have become recognised as being the premier manufacturer of a large range of the finest British automotive keyrings ever produced – sadly they closed their doors some time ago having produced keyrings for over 30 years .

This new old stock keyring has a nickel plated metal badge with jewellery quality vitreous enamelling of the highest standard .

The reverse of badge has Manhattan’s details inscribed.

The badge is mounted onto a keyfob of generous thickness in genuine black saddlery hide which is gold embossed ‘ GENUINE HIDE’ on the reverse of the keyfob .

This keyring has never been used and is still mounted onto the original display card.

The initials AFN stood for Archibald ( Archie) Frazer Nash who founded Frazer Nash cars in the 1930s.

In 1954 AFN Ltd signed an agreement and began importing the first Porsche cars into Britain .

In 1956 they became the official importer of Porsche cars into Britain .

They eventually sold out to Porsche in 1987 and had AFN dealerships in the London area.

Keyrings like this one were issued with new Porsche cars and if the salesman was in a generous mood then you might receive 2 keyrings – one to use with the car and the other one for the spare keys to be stored in the glovebox .

The example in this listing is probably the one which was left in the glovebox !

It is still mounted onto the original display card and within the original cellophane wrapper which we have opened for the first time to check and photograph the keyring .

A superb keyring to place with a car known to have originally been supplied by AFN .

The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive .
