Safety -
The safety features are often quoted as an important reason for investing in the Petersen car:
-
heating
-
windscreen washers (optional)
-
telescopic shock absorbers discretely hidden away to aid steering and front suspension
-
individual fuses to almost every single electrical unit incorporating readily available modern fuses hidden under a period bakelite fusebox
-
uprated brakes, tyres and roadholding
-
improved engine cooling characteristics
-
optional oil cooler for the Speed Six
-
easily replaceable radiator core to cope with modern traffic jams and coolants
-
hazard lights (optional)
Reliability -
Reliability is obviously one of the most quoted priorities. There are few people who can afford the luxury of a backup van filled with vintage parts, tools and two trained mechanics when embarking on a rally or holiday.
Petersen cars are rugged and durable and offer real vintage motoring with some of the reliability of any modern vehicle, but that is where the compromise to real vintage motoring stops. Our dedicated team of craftsmen are proud of the high quality of workmanship consistently produced in our workshop.
