Produced by BBC Studios, the first episode of Peak Blinders aired on 12 September 2013. Since then, five seasons have been released, and the sixth is on its way. The iconic British drama series set in England’s Birmingham in the 1920s is full of action, surprising twists and brilliant dialogues. However, there is one more thing that is loved by automobile enthusiasts about Peaky Blinders. It is the number of vintage cars that have been used in the series by various characters in the last eight years. We have composed a list of the best classic cars from the famous British series. 

Ford Model T- The Ford Model T has been regularly seen in the series because the Model T is the family car of the Shelby family. The car’s production began in 1908 when the Ford Motor Company decided to create a car for the ordinary masses. In short, an affordable car for every American was the dream of Ford. The Model T’s first-gen was equipped with a 2.9-litre, inline four-cylinder engine tuned to produce a peak power of 20hp. The last Ford Model T was produced in 1927 after which its production was halted. 

1920 Citroen Torpedo- The 1920 Torpedo is probably the first car from Citroen. Also known as 10 HP Type A, the Torpedo was powered by a water-cooled, four-cylinder, 1,327cc powertrain tuned to produce a peak power output of 18hp. The Torpedo could hit a top speed of 65 kilometres per hour. When it was launched, the cost of the Torpedo was 7,950 francs. However, the next year, the price tag was increased to a whopping 12,500 francs. 

1926 Vauxhall 30/98- From Luton, Bedfordshire; the 1926 Vauxhall was one of the best sports cars of the bygone era. Produced from 1913 to 1927, the 30/98 is one of the most beautiful cars ever to feature in the British drama. Convertible and a four-seater in nature, the 30/98 could hit a top speed of around 160 kilometres per hour. As per many, the car received the name 30/98 because of its cylinder bore of 98 millimetres and a 30 RAC horsepower marking.
