I saw this car parked in Frizinghall, Bradford on my journey to Saltaire and thought if it was still there on my return trip I would park up and get a photograph or two for the Leeds daily photo.
As you can see it was still there so I stopped and took a few photographs of this as yet unknown to me vehicle. The owner saw me and came out for a chat about his car. Turns out it is a Spartan kit car based on a Ford Cortina, earlier models were based on the Triumph Herald, but this one started life as a Cortina as seen in the TV show Life on Mars.
When the current owner bought this vehicle it had been left outside for many years and was very much a non-runner. He has spent a lot of money and even had parts made abroad to get it to its current state as his daily drive. I too have a slightly unusual roadster so I know where he is coming from.
