It’s not often that you come across a new car – which is exactly what happened to me today. I must say, it was something I was pleasantly surprised at too, as the PGO Speedster II is something of a joy to behold in these homolgated, standardised times.
PGO Automobiles is France’s most exclusive sports car manufacturer, making two similar but distinctive models, to rival the likes of Lotus, BMW, Porsche and even Morgan, for those discerning customers who want individuality and style, without supercar pricing, or classic temperament.
PGO was started in the mid 80s by two enthusiasts whose initials formed the brand: Prévôt Gilles and Olivier. The PGO company rapidly moved from building replicas to producing their own design.
The Speedster II, offering neo-retro styling and modern specification, debuted at the 2000 Paris Motor Show winning plaudits from the press for its technical prowess and beauty.
In 2005 the new owners Al Sayer International, funded improved research, development and an extended model line up which produced the
stunning Cévennes roadster – proven Speedster II engineering with advanced sports styling.
I’ll keep you updated but I hope to have a road test completed of the Speedster II soon as it looks like it should be a very interesting car to drive. On a side note, I did see one for sale to the tune of around £30,000.
