Top 50 forgotten cars

[Deleted member 3577]

There is a guy in Erie Pa. with a Peerless GT.
Nice car & he has done an excellent restoration.

Rochdale, Tornado, Unipower, Fairthorpe, Marcos.
lots of 60's British fiberglass.

I'd substitute Whatford Cheetah & Ashley Sportiva for Elva and Rochdale...
You see Elvas a lot and Rochdales occasionally.

Even Turner is more rare than Elva.
Still a good list.

I guess the name of the list is <span style="font-style: italic">forgotten</span> <span style="color: #FF0000">not</span> <span style="font-style: italic">unknown</span>

The shop doing my #1059 car resto had a race PEERLESS in for refreshing when I was there a month ago. I think it may show up at the Jefferson 500.

Ah yes, the Peerless. We had a 58 Peerless we did part of the restoration on before someone wanted it more than us and bought it. Less the driveline as they where going to put a V8 in it. So we sold the big-bore TR3 and rebuilt gearbox this last year to a guy in Utah that is restoring a 59 Warwick/Peerless. Besides the TR3 driveline, it had a dedion rearend, Aston Martin taillights, rolls royce wind cranks, and other misc. parts sourced in the true British fashion of the era. It also had twin gas tanks that ran below each of the doors.

All in all, it's kind of the cool car!
