As Triumph donor cars became less available a kit based on the Ford Cortina MkIII-V was introduced to replace the original Triumph based kits. The Ford based kit was only available in 2+2 form and uses a Spartan Cars supplied monocoque chassis which was clad with aluminium panels and shod with fibreglass wings. The Ford based kit was available from 1980 onwards. Typically fitted with the 1.6/2.0 Pinto engine or in some cases the 2.3 V6. The Roadster featured an opening boot which had been missing from the previous 2-seater and Plus-Two models. Very early Roadsters used a combination of Triumph and Ford parts before the ‘new’ kit was fully developed. Early kits had a narrower boot, wider rear wings, thinner windscreen pillars and a ‘wrap around’ bonnet. Later kits had straight bonnet edges, thicker windscreen pillars and narrower rear wings (with Austin lights replacing the previous Ford Anglia units).
