The Rear Entrance Tonneau is typical of the stylish motorcars built by Peerless in the early period. Famed for its engineering ingenuity, the Peerless Motor Car Company pioneered the use of the shaft drive when the rest of the auto industry was still using belts and chains. Its reputation for durability led to the company slogan 'Peerless - all that the name implies.' This car participated in the 1984 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run driven by its then owner Phil Hill, who restored the car in the 1980s. It has a two-cylinder, 16 horsepower engine mounted in the front.
