But it is not a 60's icon. It is a 21st century icon as that is when the bulk of cars have been made and put to the market. The question is which do you want and how much do you want to pay for it. Now it really is not worth buying a real Peel as an investment unless it has a known history to prove what it is unless it is cheap. The wise but none informed collector buyer will otherwise not be able to sort out the real from the fake from the replica. Good luck with the replicas but I think the only real satisfaction is owning the real thing. I can think of many better purchases for £15k - like two totally accurate replica Peels built by oneself! Fortunately I do not need them so I can dream of all the other things I could buy.
If the Queen owns the Highway then who owns all the potholes? You could park a Peel in some of the ones round here!
