My Cars

 

Welcome to my Web site! Which I am proud to announce has been dedicated to Berkeley cars.

The site has been produced by Colin Pears a Berkeley enthusiast since 1988.  If you would like to contact me about Berkeley's, then please send me an email to: berk@pearsy.co.uk

Berkeley's are 3 and 4 wheeled fibreglass cars, that were produced between October 1956 and December 1960. I personally have fully restored two T60’s, the three wheelers, and worked on many more. Presently I own three Berkeley cars and in order of purchase they are:

  1. A T60 Hardtop which is a two seat three wheeler, which was my first ever Berkeley and my first restoration. I bought this car in 1988 and it was finished in 1990.

  2. A T60/4 Soft top, which is a four seat three wheeler (yes a four seater!) which is now fully restored (December 07)

  3. An extremely rare Foursome four seat four wheeler.

 
   

 


Well here I am with my first Berkeley and still my favourite – Frankie (from the registration number). This was just after finishing an 18 hour 500 mile rally with my mate Ian Hulme in 1995.

The rally was the annual RAC / ACU rally that runs around the central part of the UK. It started at 14:00hrs on the Saturday and we finished at 10:00hrs on the Sunday.

We were really tired, but the car went well. The exhaust did break but it was on a stretch near home and a mate with a welder was available to carry out a quick repair.

You may be pleased to know that me and Ian were one of the few to get the coveted Gold award on the rally.
