Todays comment about my Peerless reminds me of a couple of things-
1) There was an ad in Hemmings this summer for a tube-frame, TR4
special, with a DeDion rear end. I, of course had to call, as it
sounded familiar. I had him describe the framing, and was almost
sure, and then when I got the pictures I knew. It wasn't a
TR4. It was a Peerless Special. Built on a choped off Peerless square
tube-frame chassis, complete with TR3 engine, and the odd wide
radiator, and distinct rear end layout. It's (fairly ugly)
coffin/treasure chest shaped aluminium body is fitted over round
tubing, with no fenders, and with no nose the radiator makes
quite a wind block.
If it wern't on the other side of the country, I might have been
interested, for unique-ness sake, or for parts. The car is/was in
Berkley, CA, if anyone is interested I'll dig out the address/phone #.
2) I've got to get busy and contact Al Stryeski of the VTR about
setting me as North American Peerless/Warwick Registrar for the VTR.
If any of you meet or hear of anyone with a Peerless or Warwick,
please try to get me their name/address/number, or give them mine!
I know they're out there...
