The 7th Peel P50 ever built is for sale on ebay!

[bruetsch-freak]

There is a very nice restored Peel P50 on ebay. The car looks better then the one which was offered earlier this month. (see the second link below)
Let´s have a look if the reserve price will be reached this time.

The car which was offered earlier this month is well known to me. Unfortunately this up to date P50 with its number D507 is totally unknown to me, and doesn't turn up at my register,which i still keep up to date. That means, this one did never turn up in my investigations or register. Sounds suspicious to me indeed. First registration july 2010???

Any clue ?

It could be one made by the BBC props department after putting Andy's car through the photocopier when he was not looking. It is not the one I thought I was after anyway. There seems to be a sudden upturn in Peels again. I know several folk who seem to be on a sniff be it real or replica. Money becoming tight and prices bouyant?

 LVG 396B is an age-related number, issued July 2010, meaning it isnt this car's orginal 1964 registration number anyway. VG is Norwich area of Norfolk, & "proper" LVG wasn't issued until LVG-G of July 1969.  In fact, if you look though the seller's completed listings, you can see the listing for when he bought the number plates a few weeks back....   

[Peelpower]

Hi Stuart, you are a real shrewd bloke watching the ebay listings and feedbacks. Seems the vendor is caught! 

[Stuart Cyphus]

 And so the burning question remains:   Is it or isn't it?......   

[Peelpower]

To answer your burning question. I dont think it is, because as i mentioned before it never turned up on my register of Peels !

Hows your project going on Stuart?

[Jean]

Perhaps Andy Carter will confirm or deny if it is in fact a 1960's Peel or a replicar.  Jean

fascinating stuff - ebay records . well done for starting that one up stewart. still waiting for photos of the trident that no one has commented on yet on the forum. now that does sound interesting

[Stuart Cyphus]

 The eBay car is indeed another replica, confrimed today by the ICR spy network.   No problem with that, but a little cheeky of the seller to say its genunie 1964 when its actully genuine 2010 ! I mean, is not a thoretical 14-grand obtainable price for a declared replica still not good enough for some that they have to drag the genuine ones into it?

 Oh, & Ferdi, my little GENUINE Manx (oops, did I just say that out louad?) is going well. I've just given that little white bit of it another clean down, whilst the main blue is good enough as is.   Just waiting for clearance on the exact wording of its history bourd & it'll be unveiled at School House Farm in a few days time.....   (The Peel Mafia knows what I mean.  )

 And to our Dickie,    Which Trident might that be?    This one.....



...or this one?

hi stuart are we all seing the same rumcars.org because goggo has just asked me the same question ! surely the posting of two days ago or so titled lost trident now found - or similar

[Peelpower]

For sure Stuart the P..L Mafia knows what ya mean mate  

Ups, not to forget to mention! I did ride my P50 this afternoon, but to hot sun to drive.

[P50]

It was first registered on  1st July  2010.
The chassis number D507 is not listed on the Peel Register.
The seller says he has spent years restoring it but has no pictures of it prior to, or during its restoration.
His recent Ebay purchases include number plates, a 49cc DKW engine, carb etc.
Last but not least -  seller was recently seen driving from Nottinghamshire with a new p50 bodyshell on his roofrack.

Best draw your own conclusions.

Hmm?  Taking the above into account (I have no reason to doubt it) then the seller is surely playing with fire?  All this "restoration" flannel..  Mind you it does have Avons so he's made the effort.

Does anyone know who gave it the nod ID wise?  i.e. Jean confirmed JMG was the real deal a few years ago.  So who's signed off this one so it could be reg'd at the DVLA as a '64?  What's this D507 is the 7th car made?   

Peels are shrouded in skulduggery and espianage. 

Oh and yes my Trident is finished as youtube illustrates.  Driving it up my high street turned a few heads... 
 

[Peelpower]

Glad to hear your Trident is almost finished. Yep great video on youtube mate. All the worries about the P50 ! Gettiin' a set of Avon tyres is not the fact making it genuine though
