The specialist in the renovation of vintage cars, English cars in particular
The first bodywork elements and the engine arrived in September 2023 at Boutier Rétro Motors.
The car, naked, and all the parts will follow very soon.
It is Maxime and his team of specialists who will ensure the complete reassembly of the Spartan.
Several months of work are planned to, among other things, create the electrical wiring from scratch, nothing of which has been preserved, install the headlights, the Lucas long-range beams and all the accessories, design and manufacture the dashboard, change the steering wheel, renovate the fuel tank, put the engine back in place and ensure its startup, previously manufacture the custom stainless steel exhaust line, create the braking circuit and reassemble the brake cylinders, linings, the discs and calipers, install the hubs which will receive the new chrome spoke rims, redo all the interior trim, attach the front seats and design the rear bench, reassemble the windshield, the strips, make a custom-made hood, and of course reassemble the fenders, bumpers, and mirrors.
The list is not exhaustive, there is work!
I was able to admire theirs a little on some Jaguar, Bentley, MG, Mini, Morgan and other beautiful cars that passed through their hands, it is really of high quality.

The club
Thank you Martin for dedicating, in december 2022, a page to The French Spartan in the latest edition of Spartacus (No. 45-4), the Club magazine.

The Dutch Club
It was created almost 20 years after the commercialisation of the first Spartans on Dutch soil, and, in June 2023, the Dutch Spartan Owners Club celebrated its 30th anniversary.
A big thank you to the Club for sharing with me documents and information that illustrated this site.
I warmly thank Jan Smit for having devoted, in February 2024, a 20-page supplement to The French Spartan in nº84 of « De Uitlaatklep », the Dutch Spartan Owners Club magazine, to allow members to follow my work.
Mijn hartelijke groeten aan de leden van de DSOC ♥️
