This is number 0278 of only 325 Peerless GT's ever produced. On the peerless-gt.co.uk//history/#phase2 site it is stated that less than 50 Phase 2 cars ever left the factory. This car was first registered on October 2nd in the UK with registration number 294 HKX. That number plate is still on the car. The car has been in the possession of three british owners before the seller acquired it. The history of ownership can be found in the files that come with the Peerless.
The Peerless was based on an electrically welded space frame, and is equipped with independent double wishbones and a coil spring in the front, and a De Dion rear axle setup with leaf springs. Girling 11 inch front disc brakes and 10x 2.125 rear drum brakes. The car has a 4 speed manual transmission, with a Laycock De Normanville overdrive in third and fourth gear. A factory recommended option. The differential is a Salisbury, the axles were replaced in 2003 around the same time the Salisburry differential was rebuilt.
The Peerless is powered by a TR3 based 1991 cc motor that was upgraded and rebuilt in 2016. The engine was modified and now is fed through two Weber 45 DCOE carbs. The detailed build sheets are in the files, as are the invoice and dyno sheet. Maximum output was originally 100 BHP, after the upgrades the displacement is 2288cc and the dyno sheet showed almost 160 HP @ 4700 RPM.
The car has two separate fuel tanks with separate Facet cylindrical low fuel P pumps feeding the Webers. A switch on the dash switches from one to the other tank. The owner uses one tank for normal high octane gasoline for street use and race gas in the other tank for when he's going to push it harder.
The upholstery is custom leather and was installed two years ago for the current owner at a cost of $9000. The dash features all the original gauges: "5 inch speedometer with trip, matching revolution counter, oil pressure gauge. Water temperature gauge, ammeter and fuel gauge in recessed black non-glare panel." The speedometer stopped working after installing the Halda, after the Halda was disconnected the speedometer and Odometer worked again as should.
After the car was imported by the seller the glass fiber body got stripped and repaired by a local craftsman. The current paint job was applied (body repair cost $19,500) . The car is carrying the 52 number, as that was the number it was raced at Silverstone participating in the Pomeroy Trophy (tech sticker is included in the sale and pictured in the gallerie). New Minilight style rims were installed ($1,500) and the door handles were re-chromed. Obviously no cost was spared to make this into the spectacular Peerless it is now. The car literally needs nothing.
Other non original upgrades other than the ones already mentioned are:
High torque starter motor
4 in 1 headers
Lightened flywheel
AP racing clutch
electronic distributor
Plumbed in fire suppression system with nozzles on
Halda Speedmaster
FIA Master kill switch with diode
Non original brand new leather interior with bucket seats.
New headliner
New carpet
4 Aluminum 15 inch S.C.P rims (Spare is a chrome spoke wheel)
The files folder includes correspondence between various owners, lots of invoices, MOT and registration documents and EPA and Department of Homeland Security documents
Engine build sheet and dyno sheet and invoices.
The included MOT documents give much perspective to how many miles the car has been driven after the refurbishment.
In 2016 BaT featured an article about this car. https://bringatrailer.com/2016/09/28/period-race-history-recent-upgrades-1959-peerless-gt/ in which the writer refers to a chassis change. I have not found any proof of that, but several owners state the car was left outside full time, and I doubt that a chassis would have been remotely in this condition after more than 55 years in the UK.
The car is sold with a clear title, as is where is. Buyer is responsible for pick up in Woodstock Illinois

sUBMITTED FOR SALE ON BaT
1989 Swift DB4 Formula Atlantic with Loyning Toyota motor en Staff transmission
excellent condition!!!
In 1989 the Swift DB4 was introduced on the American race scene. Soon it became the car to beat, and certainly after the series went to mostly Toyota power, the DB4 set the pace. I have included the 1991 SCCA Championship results in the photo gallery with the first nine highest finishers driving a Toyota powered Swift DB4!
Chassis DB 4 03189 got the SCCA approval on 11/17/1989.
The history of this race car is unclear. The story is the car was delivered with a Cosworth motor, and soon after the Toyota engine became the one to race, it was converted to the Toyota set up.
The car is said to have been rebuilt in 2000 for a new driver who did two sessions in it, but she was afraid of the car. She did not want to drive it anymore and the car was offered to the seller.
The son of the seller, who was supposed to be the driver, was an engineer at Haas and the car was gone through completely by Haas mechanics in Lincolnshire, IL. The chocks were rebuilt and the Staff transmission was gone through. This was done amongst friends, so no invoices are available to prove any of this.
At that time the data collector AIM system was installed. That seems to be in fully working condition.
Sadly, the son got to drive her once at Blackhawk, where he bettered the FA track record during his first time out. A broken coil prevented the car from participating in the race weekend. Soon after that he tragically passed and the car was put in heated storage.
We picked up the car and found that we could not turn the engine over, due to a worn flywheel. A good replacement flywheel ( 1560 gram!) was sourced and installed. Pictures of that repair are available and some are in the gallery. Hardware was replaced where needed.
As is obvious in the pictures, the car is very clean as it really never raced since the overhaul some ten years ago. The oil was changed, and the brakes bled. Fresh race fuel was added and she started up very quickly. Video of first start up after the repairs is in the video gallery. During the start up an extra analog oil P gauge was installed to get instant reading. The oil pressure obviously is good.
The twin plate 5 inch clutch works perfectly (it is as new as you can see in the pictures) . The car was driven around the parking lot, and a video of that is also posted.
The motor is a barely used Loyning 4AGE Toyota with TRD fuel injection. These motors claimed to produce 235 HP and more! Transmission is a 4 speed Staff with oil pump and cooler.There is no play in any of the suspension links. No leaks were found anywhere at any time. The car is equipped with a more modern AIM data system and has a detachable steering wheel. An insert comes with the car, but most likely the new owner has to pour himself a new insert to his size. The Hoosiers have very little use on them, but are, with the seatbelts to be replaced. Otherwise we strongly believe the car can be taken to the track as she is.
No spares are included.
The car can be seen at our shop in Woodstock Illinois.

FOR SALE. 1964 MGB MK1 $12.000
This MGB was purchased some eight years ago, and the owner had plans to replace the front bushes before driving it. But instead, life went different and the car was put in long term heated and controlled storage for years. The new bushes that were bought at that time are included with the car.
The car is in decent to good shape, and obviously has gone through some work in the past. The floor panels have been replaced. That was done pretty nicely, as you can see in the pictures, however the panels were riveted in place. The engine appears to be the original one, but there is no Heritage document.
To our amazement the car started up right away on the old gas. We built up oil pressure and charged the battery, and checked for spark. After reinstalling the spark plugs, she fired up, and actually idled nice. Driving on the old gas was not a good experience, so we emptied the gas tank, and put new gas in. What a difference! ( Gasoline was dark, but we did not see any rust or particles in the fluid)
The car runs good, all gauges work, although the fuel gauge is a bit nervous. The overdrive works flawlessly in third and fourth gear. No protests were heard from the transmission or gearbox when I drove her.
Many specific details of the MK1 are still on the car. It has the riveted front grill and the body panels on top of the rear bumper. The hood is aluminum. The passenger door doesn't have the door lock, and I assume the parts to connect the knob with the mechanism are not there either. The pull handles are there, and the passenger door is fully functional. The Passenger side door window becomes heavy when 70% up, and the crank skips. I would not be surprised if a good cleaning of the parts will solve that problem.
Oil pressure and temperature are well in range. She starts right up ( video of cold start is available) and drives well. The brakes function, and she does not pull, not while driving and neither under braking.
