I've never seen one in person, I would imigne that they are like looking for Chickens Teeth. For those that don't know what they are......
The Peel P50 is a three-wheeled microcar manufactured in 1962 and 1965 by the Peel Engineering Company on the Isle of Man. It retailed for £199 when new, and currently holds the record for the smallest-ever automobile to go into production.

Gotta love the suicide doors, kinda loose the meaning if the top speed is around thirty though...oh wait, is that the braking system, slow and drift left, throw the left door open...???

Website devoted to the Peel, including replica bodies!! Maybe get in contact with Andy Carter, I believe his email is on the site, and find one? I read they are upwards of $50k now, considering they only built 47 of them! |
