After a lot of measuring and research i'm now sharing my V6 project. Long time ago i got this idea, and i started to investigate if this was feasible. My main goal is that i don't have to change the chassis, and that it is reversible. Due to its compact dimensions the choice fell on the Ford 2.4 EFI V6, cou...

As may have been observed from another of my recent posts, I had to change the engine front plate on my re-built engine from the TR4 one to the TR3 one to get the engine sitting at the correct height in the chassis. In doing so, look what I found. I was well pleased.

Hi everybody, Some of you know I own this car for many years, bought back in 1998. Bought as a partially dismantled wreck, basically not worth saving, but complete with glass, P-grille etc. As these are very rare, I couldn't find another one so it became mine. I've built a new chassis to start with, i...

After getting the car home from Detroit in September it taken a little time to document details for starting the restoration. The car has now been blown apart except for the front & rear suspension and steering column. Chassis is various states of disrepair primarily from the firewall back. ...

Having had to buy a new (second hand) stator tube can anyone tell me how far it should extend, if by anything, beyond the end of the nut that holds it in place on the lower end of the steering box. At present and with the steering wheel as far down the splines on the top of the column as it can go, the stator tube...

Sorry guys, missed the TR show. The radiator gave up 70 miles into the trip, and stranded me at Cambridge Services. It's a mercy that it didn't fail in the roadworks. For the first time in my Peerless/Warwick ownership Ive needed a two truck. However, the ali/plastic land rover rad is rubber mounted...

I have had steering wheels restored by: Mike Lempert 2124 Shell Ring Circle Mt Pleasant, SC 29466 USA Really beautiful results. He knew all about Peerless steering wheels and Italian wheels.

I have found an imperfect replacement for the original weatherstrips. I was about to throw the old, original away but thought I should post images of the originals. they are not fuzzy as I had originally thought and the rubber part is actually a Z shape,. -- Edited by maserich on Thursday 20th of June 20...

An early Easter present and way better than a chocolate egg. Two new alloy fuel tanks, fitted with AN6 outlets, weld on ring for VDO dip senders to the inside AND foam filled. Don't know about the Easter bunny but I'm certainly happy.

The little furry chap has been busy spending in Revingtons and has delivered me...... The first jolly update is steering box top plate RTR3075. This works really well. It replaces the peg with a sprung pin and removes most of the play due to wear around the straight ahead bit. The other update is geo...

Has anyone any idea of the bush size that fits around the bolt holding the front of the leaf spring to the chassis? The bolt and bush were rusted solid and had to be cut off when I stripped the car so I'll have to get new ones made up. I don't suppose they were a stock item.

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...

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...
