The History of Peel Engineering – 60th Anniversary

Experience the fascinating history of Peel Engineering narrated by Barry Edwards
Local expert and author Barry Edwards narrates the story of Peel Engineering:
“Sixty years ago, Cyril Cannell, an imaginative engineer had created Peel Engineering and produced small fiberglass cars, among other products, from a factory on the West Quay in Peel. Arguably, the cars were ahead of their time, offering excellent fuel consumption and easy parking! Being built using fiberglass, they didn’t rust either.
Cyril would be tickled at the thought that 60 years on, we are celebrating the diamond anniversary of these remarkable products with this second product from Isle of Man Post and a weekend of events, organised by the Manx Transport Heritage Museum in Peel, and a selection of preserved Peel cars visiting the Island.”

When I have telephoned customer services, excellent and very informative
I have collected Manx stamps since Postal Independence in 1973. In all of this time, I have never failed to be amazed at the wide range of subjects covered and by the sheer quality of their designs and presentation.
