- Grindlay Peerless is a historic motorcycle manufacturer that operated out of Coventry, England, throughout the early 20th-century, specialising in racing machines including the record breaking 498cc Grindlay Peerless. Although a relatively short-lived marque, Grindlay Peerless secured a number of high-profile achievements most notably that of works rider and tuner, CWG 'Bill' Lacey, achieving a Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) world record by becoming the first man to exceed a 100 miles in an hour on British soil in August 1928 aboard his Grindlay Peerless. The company quickly became renowned for building powerful, high quality and technologically advanced machines. The very limited number of Grindlay Peerless machines produced means that they are now extremely rare. (en)
- Grindlay-Peerless is een Brits historisch merk van motorfietsen. De bedrijfsnaam was: Grindlay Ltd., Melbourne Works, Coventry. De Grindley-zijspanfabriek in Coventry begon in 1923 zelf ook motorfietsen te produceren. De eerste modellen hadden 500cc-JAP-eencilindermotoren en 996cc-Barr & Stroud-V-twins. De tank leek op de “Bulbous nose” van Brough Superior. Later konden klanten ook kiezen voor 123- tot 246cc-inbouwmotoren van Villiers, 246- tot 990cc-motoren van JAP, 248- tot 498cc-vierklepsmotoren van Python en zelfs de zeldzame B&H. In 1934 werd de productie beëindigd. (nl)
