Title: Peel Fairing
Post by: starider on March 15, 2006, 10:22:01 AM

Hi all looking on some background on a fairing i came across.
It's unpainted and appears never to have been mounted. On the left side there is a metal info plaque labeled  Peel Engineering Company  Isle of Mann
C845
any info?
Thanks

It could be a Peel "Mountain Mile" fairing as used frequently on British Racing machines of the late '50's? / early '70's.

But then it could also be intended for road use as they also made fairings for Honda machines of the sixties, among others - an aperture for a headlamp would be a dead giveaway.

The number on the plate may identify it if you can find someone in possesion of the factory records.

Peel also built a microcar with a 50cc engine called the P50 in the early sixties, to be followed a couple of years later by the "Trident" with a larger engine of 98cc and revised styling.

Try "googling" "Peel mountain mile" and "Peel microcar" .


Unpainted and never mounted with the plate intact? Someone will want that!

Let us know what you find out.
