Most people associate Peel Engineering with the building of fiberglass bike fairingsand microcars. Peel also made a couple of different car models based on then-current production cars’ running gear. Before you is a Peel Viking, which is one of only seven left known to exist. Peel actually never produced the whole car; they would sell you the fiberglass body and you had to find a junk Mini to take the drivetrain and brakes from. Many other parts were borrowed straight from the Mini such as the steering wheel, doors and windows. Although it was a nice-looking and practical car, it did not sell and production hardly got started before it stopped. If you go to our microcar section, you will see a Peel P-50 and Peel Trident, also made by Peel Engineering.
