All right, all of you TR experts, etc. -Who knows anything about the
Peerless GT's? References, history, specs, owners, register, etc. appreciated.
I'll start:

Peerless GT 1957-59. Designed by Bernie Rodger. Fibreglass body on tube
frame chassis, TR3 engine, transmission, front end. DeDion rear end (source?). 
Total production around 250. A Peerless finished the 1958 Le Mans in
about 16 or 18th place. 

Sold by a reformed company in 1960 as the Warwick GT, with both the TR engine,
and the 3.5 litre Buick V8.

P.S. -Don't look for me at Carlisle, I can't make it.
