Manx microcars expected to fetch good price

Two cars built in Peel will go under the hammer in America next month - with collectors expected to snap them up.

RM Sotheby's says a 1964 Peel P50 and a 1965 Peel Trident are both up for auction in Monterey on Friday, August 19.

Only around 30 P50s are still in existence, and typically they fetch around £115,000 - while Tridents can sell for more than £50,000.

Auctioneers Sotheby's describes them as the most desirable and rarest microcars in the world.
