Does anyone know where I could find a Peerless badge bar (fits into the bonnet air intake with a ringed "p") or know of anyone reproducing them? Thanks, Jeff. GT2/ 00063.

We're starting the interior restoration of #00123 to be close to original and need information on what material to use on the package shelf behind the rear seats. The upholstery shop wants to use the black material also used over the dashboard, I seem to remember it was the same grey vinyl used on othe...

The boot lid on #118 has become loose where the hinge arm meets the lid itself, as in the picture. I've tried tightening in the screws, but without success. It moves enough to give me concern that the lid might pop open going over a small bump. Does anyone know what lurks within the fiberglass? I was...

I am jumping the gun just a bit, and getting ahead of Art, but I just can't stand it!!! I think Art mentioned that we are going to start on #92 at the brakes, work our way to the engine, and then start on the body. I have always believed that fixing "whoa" before "GO!" is best. At any rat...

I recently collected my engine block and cylinder head from the company who made a superb job of cleaning them using their rust and grease busting dipping process. Typically for a TR engine, there are issues to address. It would seem exhaust valve seats have been fitted but there are visible cracks on...

I discovered just how poor my rear lamp bases were having removed them to fit the new rubber backing seals I posted about recently. I asked those decent people at Holden Classic and Vintage if they'd oblige by selling me just the bases. They agreed and are now happy to supply to us bases only if required....

Anyone have a picture of original muffler set up and/or specs and/or where to purchase one? I assume it is oval and short enough to fit part way up between spare and right side wheel well?

There is a James Whitson & Co. body tag shown on the site advertising #166. I haven't seen this tag before. Of course I don't have one. Is this a common tag for Phase 1 cars? http://kpgarage.com/pastinventorydetail.php?id=23 It looks to be located on the hinge plate yet I can't tell for sure....

Sooner or later i need to sort out the oil drips on the car. What's the collective experience? Does the engine and gearbox come out easily as one, or should i pull the 'box first? dave

Can anyone confirm if the chrome wiper bezels are TR3? Off something else? Many thanks, Gary.

Attached is a photo from the inside of my PH1 bootlid showing the slot cut for the standard reverse/reg plate light. It seems way too big and certainly needs a rubber gasket. Is the slot too big or should there be a backing piece for the Lucas L469 lamp? Help appreciated. All the best, Gary

Does anyone recognise either of these fitments? As fitted to the Standard Vanguard. I understand (please correct me if necessary) that the barrel is a Wilmot Breeden 'Union' FS type. Standard 8 and 10 Spares, who supplied the new door handles, don't have either, so the hunt is on to track down more. W...

It was time to replace the sliding clunking half shafts in the Warwick, so looking through one of the original documents that came with the car, the technical spec states that Warwick used Hardi-Spicer components. In the US, I was able to order the parts from Drivetrain America for next day shipping...

Is #145 odd again or does anyone else have a plunger and spring type bonnet latch? Mine looks like a TR4's. It is mounted on the heater box. I'm thinking of adding the latches in the corners that are on other Peerless' as there is no secondary latch as on the TRs. John

I have just received #182, the car featured in Barnfinder last December. It was put away in 1972 with the engine in pieces and is missing the boot badge, 2 lower tail light lenses, and most of the carpeting. The windshield is cracked so I will need one. Seats and headliner are very nice but quite dirty. Th...

Hello everyone, I've been chipping away at this one for a few years now and have just received a call to say the first badge sample was posted to me today. It's based on one of my old badges, so fingers crossed. I have no idea of its quality but it's a step in the process to making them available again. Will up...

Hi All, I have secured a contact for new, re-manufactured door handles. I did advertise them in my registrar's reports in the TR Action mag sometime ago and had very little response. they seem to be very good quality copies and come with the all important D-shaped rest/fixing. so what do you get for yo...

I've just rebuilt the carbs on #118, and what a positive difference. In addition to the master rebuild kit. I got two new jet arms planning on replacing both. However with the new arm fitted to the rear carb, there is simply no way that the carbs will fit nor will the jet arm function to lower the jet. T...

Is the regular TR3 sender a direct replacement for the Peerless tank? I'm guessing it's maybe just a differently bet arm, but thought i'd check before ordering a replacement. The existing one is kaput dave
