Bring a Trailer exclusive: 1958 Peerless GT

Tired of searching for that pristine Gordon-Keeble? Worn out by Warwick? Might we suggest this euphemistically named Peerless GT, the first attempt at sports-car manufacturing by the energetic Bernie Rodger, who also fathered the aforementioned marques.

Arguably the nicest of the bunch, the Peerless GT was a fiberglass four-seater plopped atop Triumph TR3 running gear, all supported by a custom tubular spaceframe. Reports claim production of just more than 300 units between 1957 and 1960.

Our friends at Bring a Trailer have the line on Peerless GT No. 18, a British racing green example with a gray interior. Mechanically rebuilt, the car shows patina bordering on plain old age inside and out, but the seller wants about twice what Hagerty's Old Car Price Guide claims it's worth in this condition.

Check out the car at Bring a Trailer; Peerless fans, chime in below and let us know what you think.
