Care to guess?


When I first saw the ad for this exact car, I was confuzzled. What is this? A vintage Nissan? Shouldn't it be a Datsun instead?

Nope. The post title was Nissan Spartan II Custom, LIKE NEW.
As it turns out, it is a converted 1988 Nissan 300zx 2+2. It even has T-top roofs!

After a quick sleuth through the internet, I found out that Spartan Cars is a car conversion kit maker. Based in Pinxton, Derbyshire, United Kingdom, they have been doing for quite some time. They've converted jeep styled cars, and a lot of 2+2 styled cars. Its a very unique company.

  1. Dear sir,

    The Spartan II wasn't made by the same factory as the Spartans which are made in Pinxton (United Kingdom).
    The Spartan II was made in San Marcos in California (US).
