Indeed, Seth is 'Peerless' amongst the membership when it comes to these historical matters. 8) :y

Looking at the link Den, it would appear that they were unsure on what side to fit the fuel tank.  ;D
I initially thought it was '? hand drive specific' but looking closer they appear to be random.  :-\

I must admit I thought there was a bit of Gordon-Keeble in it initially, and then found out that Gordon hailed from Peerless, so I'm inclined to side with Albs too. :y

Hurraaaaaaay ..... ya've cracked eet ..... a splendid effort by the OOF boffins! ;D

It's actually a 1959 Phase 2 Peerless 2-litre GT; and one of only 50 built.
Bought from an impoverished student in the 1970s; it's been "the man's" only car ever since! :o


Based around Triumph TR3A mechanicals, the glass-fibre body is underpinned by a 'space frame' chassis incorporating a Salisbury final drive and De Dion rear axle.
The engine's now got TR4 piston/liners fitted, so the capacity has been upped from 1991cc to 2138cc in the process.


It'll be making it's debut appearance as one of 230 entries in the Classic Car section at the forthcoming Welland Steam Rally as per: http://www.wellandsteamrally.co.uk/

Or look in our 'Meetings' section! ;D
