Restored Peel 50 to be unveiled

by isleofman.com 8th July 2006
The Chief Minister is to officially unveil a fully restored P50 car next to Peel's House of Manannan.

The Peel Engineering built mini car was one of those built in the 1960's in a factory on the banks of the river Neb.

They are the smallest road going cars ever built. They are four feet four inches long, just three foot three wide and three foot ten high.

They are powered by a 50 cc engine with three gears, all forward?

This one was bought by the Manx Transport Museum Group and restored. Much of the mechanical work was done by group members.

It was bought with cash help from the Manx Heritage Foundation and the Public Lottery Trust.

The unveiling will be on Sunday July 23rd at 11am. At the same time a new set of stamps showing the work of Peel Engineering will be launched.
