Racing car designer, Bernie Rodger and John Gordon began, in 1957, to design and build a sports saloon car that would be cheaper than the Aston Martin. Originally to be sold under the name Warwick, but was to become the Peerless when production started.

The GT used the Triumph TR3 engine that had a long competition history and had a fibreglass body shell. Various changes to the body appeared with the Phase II model, which now had the shell made in one piece.

250 Phase I cars were made in 1958 and 1959 and around 40 Phase II cars before financial problems caused the company to cease trading in January 1960.

John Gordon left to join Jim Keeble, where they formed Gordon Keeble, while Bernie Rodgers carried on with the business under their original name of Warwick.
