Brand history

The company Mirage Developments from Biggin Hill in the London Borough of Bromley took over the Centaur automobile project from Concept Developments in 1978 and began producing automobiles and kits . The brand name was Pulsar . 1980 took over MR Developments from Trowbridge in the county of Wiltshire production. Production ended in 1982. A total of about 30 copies were made.

The later British car brand Pulsar , which was on the market from 1984 to 1987, had no connection to this one.

The Pulsar 2 offered space for 2 + 2 people and was sold in 26 copies. Only four of the two-seat Pulsar 3 were made. Technically, they were the same. A four-cylinder engine from the Hillman Imp was mounted in the stern. From 1981 engines from Ford of Britain and Mini were also available. Instead of the hinged roof at the front of the Centaur , which allowed access to the interior, two normal side doors were used. The windshield was from the Vauxhall Ventora .
