Hi y'all having had a strong up bringing in the peerless and warwick circles i feel its time for me to repay the education by getting myself one to help promote the legacy of this rare british sportscar. Funds mean I'll sell my van to fund it so need to have something driveable but well aware it wont be a sho...

From this:- To this:- In around 25 years, 3 house moves and practising on around 10 or 12 other cars.

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...

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

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.)

Finally started on the restauration of Peerless #040. Have the car for several years but other projects and cars came and jumped the cue. I have some classic cars but this is my pride and joy, and it's not even finished yet :) will try to post regular updates of the progress. Many thanks in advance for yo...

After a couple of years away from this forum, we are back!! We are the lucky owners of #96 and have been on this forum before, but lost our sign in info, hence the different looking sign in. 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...

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.

Looking for multiple resources for Peerless parts. Just bought an amazing 1959 here in the States. Car had been sitting in a garage for 53 years same owner. The car was sold by a US Airman in Lubbock TX in the 60's to a Lubbock family. Can't wait to get this restoration underway. Wanted to share what I foun...

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...

So, whilst waiting for my sparky to get back to me, I've been pressing on with a fair number of small jobs on #86. Having exhausted these, I've decided to bite the bullet and get on with the doors. I knew the nearside door was going to be problematic for two reasons. Firstly, I knew there was a twist in it pos...

Updating my lights and sealed beam headlights to LED. The back lights come out as expected, almost twice as bright all round, however the front is much more exiting. One side done, the other side for comparison. Sidelights..... Headlights.. And amber indicators.. I've used Daylight running li...

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...

As I'm getting close to fitting the new body to #86, I thought I'd take a few measures to see how everything lines up. Somewhat worryingly I've come across something I can't quite get my head around. By way of an excuse, I should point out that my original body had front end damage and the nose of the car was...

I have no idea why there is a small metal triangle screwed onto the D shaped door hinge panel near the top. Same both sides. What's its purpose??

Just started stripping down the passenger door. Blimey! They're a restoration project in their own right. And what size are all the small nuts that hold everything together?? Not standard imperial for sure. Closest I could get was 9mm and that was a bit loose. Having said that, most of them needed gro...

Another small update. New wiring progressing with a new fuse box and more relays than you can shake a stick at. Hopefully that will cover everything. Also stolen Nigels idea of multi pluging all the dashboard connections to make it easier to remove the instrument pod in the future.

mikerf · mikerf

The questions continue. Given that the original body came off the chassis in a number of pieces, can anyone advise on the best way of getting my new body onto the now running chassis? Am I best to fit the body first and then all the internal panels (flitch panels, dashboard, inner rear passenger compart...

Back in my 'one step forward' thread, I mentioned my problem getting the clutch to operate properly. Having stripped everything down today and ensured the pushrod was fully home in the cylinder, I was still getting way too much play between the piston in the slave being fully retracted and the point w...
