More progress
(Preview)
Thought the assembled masses might like to see my new floorpans. A bit of fettling and a couple of holes for the seat frames and they should be ready for spot welding in place. Please excuse the messy workshop. I promise I'll tidy up soon.

Peerless GT V6
(Preview)
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...

Pleasant surprise
(Preview)
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.

Peerless GT Phase 1 #013
(Preview)
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...

Stator tube length
(Preview)
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...

Non-standard radiator failure.
(Preview)
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...

Look what the Easter bunny brought
(Preview)
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.

More Easter bunny news
(Preview)
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...

Restoration of Chassis 86
(Preview)
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.

Chassis 289 (200 XMF)
(Preview)
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.
