Some questions about Spyker

Hello:

I have some doubts about Spyker, I hope you can help me:

The Spyker C8 Aileron completely replace the Spyker C8 Laviolette or continue both in production???

The Spyker D8 or D12 is currently in production???

All production of Spyker will move to Coventry, or even models were manufactured in Holland (for example SWB=Laviolette)???

With the birth of Spyker-Saab Automobiles, Spyker used Trollhattan plant in Sweden even make Spyker cars instead of Coventry or Zeewolde???


I ask because in the story of Swedish TV4 has confused me as they show Spyker C8 Aileron & Laviolette in production together, a Spyker D8 with sale price and all production carried out yet in Holland and not in England by CPP.

I include the link:
Hela TV4:s exklusiva inslag från Spykerfabriken - Nyhetskanalen - Sveriges nyhetskanal på nätet - direktsända nyheter, nyhetsklipp och hela sändningar från TV4Nyheterna - tv4play.se

Thank you in advance for your help.

As far as I've understood so far, the C8 Aileron will replace the C8 Laviolette as their main model. CPP in Coventry (UK) will produce the C8 Aileron and the SWB Laviolette / Spyder will be produced in Zeewolde (NL).

The D12-project no longer exists as V12 engines don't have a bright future due to emission regulations. That's why the SSUV has received a supercharged V8. This Spyker is not in production yet, but still in development. There is a heavily disguised mule with Spyker's SSUV underneath, see: http://www.spykerowner.com/forum/10873-post6.html

At this moment Spyker is only moving the production line of the C8 Aileron to CPP

I just watched the Swedish video.

It shows a C8 Laviolette white/black with black wheels. Behind the car is a white board with a todo list and clearly visible 213. This must be the vin of this car and a new vin for us....!?

Thank you SpykerOwner, then the current production line for 2010 are:

Spyker C8 Laviolette SWB --> Zeewolde, NL
Spyker C8 Spyder --> Zeewolde, NL

Spyker C8 Aileron --> Coventry, UK
Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder --> Coventry, UK

It's good to know that Spyker cars are still built in the Netherlands

Well looking at the picture I think it has about the same shape nose as the C8 GT2R, especially with the widened wheel arches. The only difference is that the roofline stops at the top of the A-pilar, suggesting it's a racing convertible. So perhaps it's just an old C8 Spider GT2R. That's my bet. There seems to be some sort of signature on the cover, just below the Spyker logo, wonder what that is!
