Anyone hear of a Peerless?
Had one in the 70's....Triumph drive train, handmade tubular frame,  twin gas tanks between the siderails (had to step in about a foot before getting to the seat and footwell area), fiberglass body. Looked kinda like an early 60's aston martin. Never saw one before or since.

My dad restored an MGB and a TD. Even after his best efforts, you still
had to sling a net under them before driving to catch the parts that
fell off.

I somehow ended up with his Whitworth wrenches, sockets, taps and dies.
I have no idea what happened to them.
