The French company was started in 1985 by two avid automobile fans: Prévôt Gilles and Olivier whose initials formed the brand name: PGO

PGO began production by manufacturing replicas but soon moved on to substantiating their own designs into full scale vehicles.

The first of these was the Speedster II, this was a two-seater sports car in a retro style but with a modern specification. It was first seen at the 2000 Paris Motor Show.

By 2005 51% of the company had been purchased by subsidiaries of the Al Sayer Group, whose financial support allowed increased product research and development and resulted in the Cévennes roadster.[1]

At the 2008 Paris Motor Show, a new model was launched called the Hemera.[2]
