        Although the last picture is low quality (understatement) and it used to be mirrored: that duo tone interior looks good!!

          Yes the photographer, for whatever reason, mirrored the last photograph, making it look like if this Aileron is a RHD, which she's not! To avoid confusion I re-mirrored the photograph (but now the Autojunk.nl is mirrored...)

              Yes, this one still exists and is at the factory I believe.

                image_16425.jpgimage_16426.jpgimage_16427.jpg Next to #265 were two other Spyker in Trier, seen by a good friend. One of them is #251. It doesn't have a real VIN plate in the windscreen, but this sticker. And it parked next to #239.

                  I think this one had (maybe still has) the special engine.

                        image_16696.jpg What is the special engine?

                        The hand brake is on the right side (left, on the driver side)...

                          I assume the LT4 V8 from Z06 which Spyker tested and was planning to use as replacement of the Audi engines.

                            Yes that's correct; this Spyker has a GM engine, delivering more HP than the Audi engine.

                              image_18019.jpg Allegedly went back to Spyker to have it sorted as this picture suggests
