The club has a membership of around 300.

So many Spartans were exported to Holland there is now a Dutch Spartan Owners Club.

Tracing ex members & cars

Hi eveyone my name is Terry I'm the chairman of the Spartan Owners Club, I'm looking for help in tracking down old members, and new owners of Spartans, Sherwoods, and Trekas, to try and get them to rejoin or join the club.
Membership is only £10-00 a year. Thanks Terry

Treasurer to retire at Newark AGM

Our treasurer Ken is retiring from the post after many years of service. I am sure all members wish to pass on their thanks to Ken for such stirling service. However it means we need a new Treasurer to take over after the AGM at Newark this year. If you are interested in being nominated please contact the committee.

The Spartan was the idea of Jim McIntyre who produced the first Spartan Kit in 1973. This was based on the Triumph Herald or Vitesse and used the Herald chassis. Later Spartan produced their own chassis as the Triumph ones were starting to rot.

When the Herald ceased to be produced the car underwent a major re-design and was based on the Ford Cortina MK3 to 5.

In 1995 the Spartan Facory ceased to trade.

During those 22 years Jim developed several other kits starting with the Sherwood Estate, and the Starcraft Camper both of which were based on the Cortina. The factory was based in Pinxton, Nottinghamshire. In later years Steve Beardsall (who had been Jim's floor manager for many years) took over the company and produced the Treka which was based on the Ford Fiesta. During this time around 4000 kits were produced. Many of the older kits are now being bought and re-built.
