This car started life in the midlands, who owns it now?
And who named it Vulcan?
I believe STR8SIX acquired it from Nikolai Smolensky. This was the car that was to appear at Goodwood for the launch of Smolensky's failed "we-build-any-TVRcar.com". The car couldn't be finished in time for the event though!

I'd be interested to know where you've seen the curved pedals available?

Didn't the last Sagaris (the LHD green one from the 2008 Wesham barn launch) have a curved accelerator pedal too? Can't find the extended youtube vid now. Ok, ok, how much please? And are these made by the O.E. people? lick

Ok, finally found the youtube vid. Just the clutch and brake pedals are curved, as you say. Never doubted you thumbup Is there a reason they stayed with the flat accelerator?

I was just interested that's all. It is my post after all! I get excited over curvy pedals, you (my little Coventry Climax friend) get excited over bikes with scaffolding strapped to the back! We all have our own penchants hehe
