Mirage Pulsar 2

1978 -

Just after the Mark 2 Centaur had been launched, it was passed into the hands of Mirage. And Mirage Developments of Biggin Hill in Kent changed its name into the Pulsar 2.
Imp engine and running gear were the standard option, although Ford and Mini units were offered. It had 2+2 seating. And it was overall more practical: it had conventional doors and a rear window, albeit a three-quarterlight. Its windscreen was from a Vauxhall Ventora. It was well made and drove pretty well, too.

Mirage Pulsar 3

A Pulsar 3 existed: it didn't have the rear seats nor the rear window. It too was standard based on the Imp, but Ford and Mini based kits were available.

It had a sloping tail and the hatchback opened in one piece. The front end remained the same.

In 1980 (1979?) Pulsar was passed on to MR Developments ltd. in Trowbridge (Wiltshire), but in 1982 already it was killed off. Some thirty were made.
