Description
LHD 1959 Peerless GT in good mechanical and cosmetic condition ready for street use and/or to be prepped for historic rally, hillclimbs or production-class vintage racing. Triumph TR3 engine and running gear mounted to steel tube space-frame over a sleek, sexy glassfibre GT body. Basically, it's a poor-man's Aston Martin DB3/4 or AC Aceca, a rare example of British sports car construction at the pinnacle of its creativity and style. The factory campaigned a pair of Peerless GTs at Le Mans in 1958, one of which achieved the class win. Get your Peerless now and join in the fun at Le Mans in June 2008 as this special marque celebrates the 50th anniversary of this achievement.
