"Then there was the Arkley which relied on fibreglass front and
rear ends to transform the looks of the Spridget. It certainly
suceeded, yet the appearance of the finished car was an uneasy
mixture of Frog-eye Sprite and TF Midget, with a hint of Lotus
Seven thrown in for good measure. The Lenham, Arkley and others
of that ilk are best regarded simply as fun cars, not to be
taken entirely seriously."
Well!
In "Pratical Classics" magazine, a company called "Spartan Car"
regularly advertises. Their ad shows a car the front end of
which is vaguely reminiscent of the Arkley to my eye.
