Spotted: Spartan car near Oak Knoll School

by Linda Hubbard Gulker on February 23, 2020

Out walking the dog this morning, we came upon a spiffy looking white roadster parked near Oak Knoll School called a Spartan. Our companion immediately identified it as “a kit car,” and he was correct, even though neither of us had every heard of a Spartan before.

Here’s more thanks to Wikipedia: “Spartan Cars was a manufacturer of kit cars based in Pinxton, Derbyshire, United Kingdom, which operated from 1973 to 1995. The company was founded by Jim McIntyre.”

From an image search, we’re thinking this is a Spartan II Coupe, but please correct us if wrong. And love to hear how the car made it to Menlo Park!

Spotted: Another winning pasta from Chef Greg Kuzia-Carmel at Camper

Menlo Park is lucky (in our humble opinion) to get the king of pasta heading the kitchen at Camper. And what’s great is that there is always the tried and true (my companion loves the rigatoni) and the new. Tonight we got the best of both worlds, getting a special taste of a new addition […]
