Hi everyone, just a quick note to let you know I've got this car, some of you may know it. It still has the V8 in it & runs but is a long way from road ready. I'm very busy so any king of restoration is going to be rather long winded but I'll try & update significant changes. Thanks, Bran.

It has been awhile but I'm back at my peerless. Got the brakes working...ish so now I'd like to get it running...ish. I had tried spinning it up to build oil pressure but no go, it had some very sludgy oil going on. my gut is telling me it was rebuilt at some point so I plan to take it apart,clean it and put it ba...

I am new to the "Peerless GT - Owners Club", but have been a Triumph fan for a great many years. My quest for a Peerless GT actually started with a desire for a Triumph Italia, however while looking for an Italia (searching for rare Triumphs), I ran across the Peerless GT. What a very neat car and my sites...

OK, it's not really the bulkhead but I need to ask the question anyway. I'm at the stage of preparing new metal to go intothe bulkhead (firewall, in the USA), floor and footwell sides and have come across something that I think may be a bit unusual. In most photos of chassis that I've found online, the fo...

At the risk of having my son angry with me, I thought I might update all of you a bit on #92. I emptied all of the bits from the ****pit this weekend, plus the rear seat shell, so that I could get to a more fine-tuned assessment of things. I discovered that someone, not so long ago, may have paid some attention...

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...

Auto Windscreens fitted the first new front and rear heated screens to my Peerless this morning. They look superb. Crystal clear, laminated and excellent fit. The element wires are no thicker than a human hair, and very difficult to see without a white background and nosed pressed against the glass...

Not much has happened with 145 beside general cleaning and taking stock. I removed the battery and found that it is a Deka. These are made in Pennsylvania and sold in the NE US. The date stamp was Jan. 1971!!! So it is safe to assume that #145 has not been on the road since the mid-70s and once lived in the NE U...

I bought the Austrailian knockoff off the original Mini interior light to use in my car. So, on a left hand drive car where would the interior light go? Centered just above the passanger door opening screwed into one of the ribs? I guess it could also somehow mount to the metal plate to which the rea...

It's been a few weeks since I was able to do anything with car, and nothing since the few brief shake-down runs. The heavy leak from the gearbox appears to be from failing gaskets on the overdrive-gearbox connection. If looks like there's been some attempt to seal it up with some sort of goop/epoxy/...

Finally getting stuck into the engine stripdown. Removed the cylinder head last night to find clean cylinder head faces. Head gasket marking says 86mm. Liners didn't budge but will come out anyway. Happy days sorry, nights. All the best, Gary

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has any information regarding the 1959 Peerless GT Phase one, car 27. We have just obtained the car from America and wonder if anyone has owned or who has any information about the car... This is just for personal interest as we would like to know anything about the cars...

5wks from purchase, #118 arrived this morning, safe, sound and ready for some TLC. Tons to do, and I can't wait to get started. dave

Dave #118

I hope to get #118 during the week of Jan 30th, providing the shipping works out on time, and then be up and running shortly after that. Looking forward to it arriving. The documentation arrived today, and in skipping through it, there is a substantial amount of information that comes from the prev...

Does anyone maybe have a picture of the Phase 1 I am currently restoring? I bought the car when it was already partly disassembled, and in very bad condition. I would love to have a picture of the car in its former glory, when it was still in one piece. Maybe from a club day long ago? My car has regis...

I am in the process of purchasing a Peerless GT. I have seen and driven #172 currently for sale in Arizona. Briefly, it is scarlet red with a "beige" or "natural interior and carpets. The current seller is a dealer - Brighton MotorSports and seem to be asking a premium price for this pa...

Hi all. The car is ready for a testrun on the road. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5zCxQkmgK8

Wow, making progress on the Peerless? Is that allowed? Because the car has been in a permanent state of unfinish, I thought I'd spend some time over the weekend making it look a bit more presentable. Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present..... some work! First job was to fit the filler cap - a 2 perso...

I was the proud owner of this car for about 18 months around 1970 ish! It was said to have been in the 1959 Car Show, but I had no proof of that. I fitted an overdrive gearbox from a TR3. It would be interesting to know if this car still exists?
