Peter SH

 
           
 
 
PSH carries out a pre-flight check before terrorising the hedgehogs down country lanes.
Joining the merry band of Marlineers is Peter Seabrook-Harris (AKA PSH) and, after swapping his faithfull old B Series based Roadster for the Berli last summer, is now keen to enjoy the fruits of a type 9 gearbox with a 5 speed box on a longer run. Cortina MkV based with a later 205 block Sierra lump, she sounds like a tank but sits sedately on period looking wire wheels. This car was owned more recently by Mike Flarry but hails from Essex.
In the 1970's Peter drove to Marakesh when just 18 and then went on to tour France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland etc but has since toured mostly France so is rather looking forward to this Nordic venture.He also owns an early Dellow prototype which has three speeds, no weather protection and struggles much above 45 mph due to low gearing for hill cilmbs. He'll be taking the Berlinetta then!








" Christ - 6 Marlins are on their way and we've already got at least three of the blighters in Stockholm causing havoc. This is an epidemic and no moose will be safe"

As James posted a piccie of his Marakesh moment,  here is one of me in my Arkley ( a 1970's Spridget conversion sold by John Britain garages)  by a lake deep in Austrian around about 1974
This was rebuilt by me from a wrecked 1971 Sprite and was huge fun and sparked my interest in the unusual cars. I couldn't afford nor find a Dellow back then but eventually found one three years later and the Arkley went.
