Reply to "History of 4621. UK registration VNP653L"

The seats are from a Ford Sierra Cosworth, but re-foamed thinner by about an inch and a half as the originals were to thick and brought my head too near the windscreen header. I made up the seat runners from components available here in the UK from a firm called "Carbuilders"; fortunately the floorpans had already been lowered in the seatwells - presumably to allow the driver to wear a crash helmet inside!

I am lucky to have a "friend" who in a previous "life" made the fiberglass molds for TVR Cars in Blackpool. He made the molds for the dash and centre console and did all the fiberglassing for the front end. I know that the centre console doesn't use the correct switchgear but I wanted to incorporate some additional switching (eg a manual override control for the electric radiator fan) and keep the main dash clear of extra switches. I chose to use the toggle switches instead of the DeTomaso rocking switches as they took up too much space.
