#250 - C8 Aileron - Champion Silver / Tropicana Orange

[AX lover]

Do you have a link? Can't seem to find them!

[bucciali]

It's in their LA Show gallery, starting on page 27.

Just noticed as well, that Autospies allows their users to create their own galleries of shows. So you might want to check these out too.

Since I knew this Spyker had a VIN plate I wanted to know what VIN number the Aileron prototype has. I worked through tons of pictures but was never able to figure it out. Yesterday I found a thumbnail of a picture with the right angle. I knew for sure that when I clicked on it to see the picture in a larger format the VIN plate would reveal its secret .

But it didn't... it was out of focus!

I couldn't take it no more and decided to ask Vinnie [ReducedSpeedAhead] for help. He was very kind and since he was actually at the L.A. Show where the Aileron prototype is also displayed, was able to read the VIN plate.

It says: XL9BA12G49Z363908

Yep, #908!

So bucciali you were right it not being #237 and SpykerOwner, your guess was pretty close!

Thanx to Vinnie [ReducedSpeedAhead] for providing this information!


@ Hans [SpykerOwner] Maybe the name of this thread should be changed in: #908 - Aileron Prototype - Gun Metal Grey/Tropicana Orange

Ha! Nice work!
Thanks Stephan. And thanks Vinny!

@Laviolette GT2R, great news! Remember the VIN of the C8 Aileron Mule? That one also started with a 9 didn't it? So that could also be true!

Conclusion.....

Prototype cars now end with #9??

True/False?

Thanks Laviolette GT2R and Vinny,

Maybe 900-series chassisnumbers are only used in case of a prototype?
