1958 Peerless

This car competed in the Equipe Pre-63 race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in 2019 and is pictured at the Knickerbrook chicane during the morning practice session.

It's the 1958 Peerless of Dan and Lucas Smith and is here leading the 1962 Jaguar E-Type of Paul Kennelly. The Peerless was based on the running gear of the Triumph TR3 with the 4-cylinder inline 2,138cc engine and about 325 were produced between 1957 and 1960.
