Never having seen a Peerless, yet knowing it was built on TR3
mechanicals, I guess I was expecting something along the lines of a
TR3 or Swallow Doretti. I was amazed to see how much like an Alpine
it looked! Throw away that bonnet scoop, and you've got yourself an
Alpine, at least from the windscreen forward. It would be very
interesting (to me, anyway) to see a Peerless and Alpine side by side.
Since there are so many Peerless around these parts, I guess the only
way it will ever happen is if I tow^H^H^H drive my Alpine up to the
SLCFWSC!
Thanks to Garry & Roger for making the picture available.
