AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
Spartan - Roadster - 1978. Odometer reading: approximately 56,000 miles. The Spartan Roadster is a British kit car sports car, originally produced by Spartan Cars in Pinxton, Derbyshire. Founded by Jim Cowley in 1973, the company designed this model as an affordable, lightweight, fun alternative inspired by the classic lines of 1930s sports cars and the Lotus Seven concept. Built on a tubular chassis with a lightweight body, this roadster stands out for its Ford-based mechanicals (such as the Triumph Herald or the Ford Cortina), which ensure great technical simplicity, low maintenance costs and excellent availability of spare parts. With its open-top configuration and low weight, it offers agile handling and pure retro driving sensations, and today is a very rare and exclusive collectible car. The car is located in Madrid, Spain.
CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA:
The bodywork is in good condition and free of rust. It has been used in numerous rallies, so it retains advertising stickers. The paint has good gloss with the usual signs of aging and is finished in a two-tone scheme in Silver Gray and Burgundy that gives it a very sporty look, complemented by chrome wheels very much in period. The undersides are in good condition, free of corrosion and on a very sound chassis.
MECÁNICA:
A cleaning of the carburetor and the fuel tank has just been performed due to a period of non-use in which it did not regulate correctly. Currently the engine starts well both cold and hot, sounds very good and offers good compression. It is equipped with a reliable Ford engine paired with a five-speed gearbox that shifts smoothly. It has the ITV recently passed and valid until 2029 without observations, ready to drive with total reliability.
INTERIOR:
Four-seat interior configuration (2+2) equipped with four seat belts to drive without problems on any road. The upholstery is in good used condition, showing only minimal age-related defects appreciable in the photographs.
DOCUMENTACIÓN:
ITV in force recently passed and valid until 2029 without observations.
RECOGIDA / ENTREGA:
Located in Madrid, Spain. If won, there is a 20-day storage period available.
OTRA INFORMACIÓN:
Vehicle suitable for all kinds of use and journeys thanks to the simplicity and reliability of its Ford mechanicals.

Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
