History
Peerless GT
Built in Slough, the Peerless GT featured remarkable engineering including De Dion rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, advanced for any car of the era. Powered by a Triumph TR3 engine, the lightweight fiberglass coupe could exceed 120 mph. Designer Bernie Rodger created an elegant fastback body that looked expensive and exclusive. Financial problems plagued the company despite the car's technical merits, and only about 325 were built. The company was later reorganized as Warwick, producing a similar car, but neither venture achieved commercial success.
