hyea, funny. it was used in a couple of articles of the time, reminds me of a pantomime horse !

Duncan and I are doing a lot of research at the moment and we may have a couple of new contacts for more info of the business. Ultimately this will help our updates to the new history page etc.

Interesting....

This seems to be a phase 2, but with phase 1 door windows?

I have a rather rough copy of an introductory Peerless article from the Autocourse magazine dated Nov 1957. I wonder if anyone has a better copy? Autocourse magazines from the 50s are very rare and cost £100 each so buying one isnt an option.

The last one on that list is very interesting.

Lots of options, even a rear wiper!

The bit in the red box is not correct. See history on web site.
