Peel Viking Sport

The Peel Viking Sport was a GT car made of GRP and BMC Mini based car. It was made by the Peel Engineering Company, on the Isle of Man between 1966 and 1967. It was a 1966 Racing Car Show debutant, but it was not the prettiest of alternative Minis but did have durability and 2+2 practicality on its side. Using moulded replicas of cut-down Mini doors, the glassfibre, monocoque, fast back styled bodyshell sold for 230 GBP and accepted standard Mini front and rear subframes on a square tube chassis.

After two prototypes were made production was taken over by Bill Last who formed Viking Performance of Woodbridge, Surrey to make it and the car renamed the Viking Minisport. About 25 examples are thought to have been built before production ended in 1967. Viking Performance became Trident Cars in 1967 producing the TVR based Clipper car.
