Chassis #213 - A long project
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
Now that I finally placed the refurbished body on the new chassis, I realized that I don't have a restoration thread on #213 on our own P&W forum. Turns out I started documenting my efforts on VintageMotoring.net, and never thought to cross post. Here is an early link to help tie in purchas...

Where do I start
(

(Preview)
I race in historics and my later fathers Peerless (YLM3) has been stored in a garage for over forty years. I think this would be an ideal race project for me and very nostalgic for my wife and son to see their Grandfathers car running again. Its not a project for my regular company so I would very much appre...

Wooo Hooo! Chassis 86 finally booked in for paint on 23rd of this month. Trouble is, I keep on finding tiny imperfections on the body and trying to sort them out. Where do I draw the line?? (That's a rhetorical question, btw.)

#86 back home.
(Preview)
Now got my car back in the workshop with paint finally cut back and polished. Highly delighted with the end result. New headlining is ready to be picked up from the trimmers. Once I get that in, then it's on with the glass and finishing off the electrics. Although there's still a load of work to do, fina...

Overdrive removal
(Preview)
Ok, something that I REALLY should have done much earlier was test the functioning of the overdrive (I know, I'm an idiot). It's not working. I've tried all the standard tests, checked the oil level, bled the air, tried operating the actuating leaver whilst on the move and with the rear wheels off the g...

Raining brakes
(Preview)
Hi All, This is one I have been plagued with pretty well from the first time I got the car on the road and was caught in the rain. Mainly on the motorway in the rain I loose the brakes. I have to trail my foot on the peddle about every 3 miles otherwise if I have to use them....there's nothing there. Has anyone e...

Getting further each time
(Preview)
Being as today was one of Scotland's 5 allocated days of sunshine per year, I thought I'd take 603EPP out for a little spin. Trips have, to date, been short as the various little niggles that always seem to happen after a rebuild needed seen to. Currently, I'm having difficulty identifying why the fans...

Another one 'on the road'
(Preview)
Happy to announce that 603 EPP is now taxed as a historic vehicle and insured for the road. She also has her MOT exemption status and new colour recorded. I'll put her in for an MOT once I've sorted out some of the last annoying little niggles. The fact she has no front seats ATM might also be a hindrance. ...

When was the last time two road-legal Peerless Ph1 cars were at the same UK establishment? This was today at my workshop in Somerset UK, years ago. Nostalgia aint what it used to be, its better than that. -- Edited by Gary S on Saturday 26th of March 2022 11:22:32 PM

At any rate, we are about to get started on #96!! But first a bit of background... Somewhere in its life, #96 had a sun ro...

Chassis #86 starts to look (vaguely) like a Peerless again
(Preview)
After a good few years gathering dust, the body is finally on. Still to be squared up and settled properly but not too difficult so far. I know that's going to change and it's a long way off fitting properly but nice to see it looking like a car again.

Hi everyone, Three weeks ago Iwas able to buy a Peerless Phase2 which came up for sale in NL, just one hour drive from were I live. The car is largely complete and original, but needs quite a bit of work to get on the road again. The engine was out of the car and totally in bits, but complete. Probably seized f...
