LeMans Peerless pictures
Permalink  

Hi all,

Just found these great pics on a French website, but my French is not good.

Good moaningbiggrin

Does anybody know if this is a workshop in the UK or in France/LeMans?

I've never seen both LeMans cars in one picture.

as usual I cant find an Image I must have somewhere that (from memory...and you know what thats like) i looking into the garage from further away and you can see quite a few UK registered cars parked outside and I think the general consensus was that it was the back of the Peerless Garages/workshop prior to leaving for Le Mans.

I am not sure it is Slough. I can see UK registered car in the doorway. But the electric polls are not very UK. The big house behind is very french. Coble street not very Slough trading estate. Posters on walls not UK brands. Would more like Lucas and champion. Love to know though either way. Great images amazing to see both cars

After doing some translation one of the replies says its a workshop in LeMans.

Looks like they are doing light checks, as the right indicator is lit in the first pic and the rearlights in the second.

Two more.

First one the Peerless leading three Ferrari's? :)

Second one of the scoreboard in the dark, nice
Apparently the Peerless had done 120 laps at that time.
