The Peel Manxcar was a prototype 2+2 seater saloon car designed by and and manufactured in 1955 by the Manx Peel Engineering Company. The projected purchase price of the assembled Manxcar was "....ten shillings short of £300, including purchase tax."[1] Initially renamed from "Peel Manxman"[2] because of the Excelsior (Coventry) motorbike of the same name, the Manxcar never entered standard production.[3]
