was founded by Norman Pierce and Paul Jackson in 1977 in Lingfield, Surrey
and the company began producing cars for the F Ford 1600 and F Ford 2000
market. They soon gained a reputation for building well made competitive
cars and as a result they entered F3 in 1983 but they only lasted for two
years without any success to show for it. |

For
1983 Sparton introduced the SE420 which was based on the company's
FF2000 car. It first appeared in the summer and by the end of the
season it was starting to show reasonably well. A young Ayrton Senna
tested it and was complimentary about its track behaviour. |

lightly modified the SE420 for 1984 building a new car in the process,
the most noticeable change was fitting revised bodywork. Entered by
Valour Racing Paul Jackson did the first five races of the year without
any success and then switched to a Ralt for the rest of the year.
In 1985 one of the cars was entered in the B class for year old cars. |
