Spyker C8 Double 12 thread

It is behind the windscreen. It is on the bottom at the driverside. Do you know what I mean?

#042 C8 Spyder Grey/Greybrown - softtop

There you can see where it is (driverside under the whiper)

I am still not sure, but I believe that not all Spykers have the VIN plate visible behind the front windscreen. I know that it is mandatory for the US market, to enable police enforcement to track a car easily. Just don't know whether Spyker puts this plate on by default on all cars, or only on those going to the States.

So what are you saying......

[AX lover]

I believe they put them there by default, this makes production a lot easier
Maybe they are only not there on the really early cars (before they knew the US rules). A lot of brands also use a visible VIN's in Europe. I know that Ford, Aston Martin, Jaguar and Citroen do this. And I guess a lot of other manufacturers also.

Because of the numberplate and supercharger I thought it possible that the Double 12 with the black rims would be the #059 car.

But it seems numberplates are personal and not (as in Holland) per car. So I guess I assumed wrong...

Does this than say that the owner of #059 does now own a same supercharged Double 12 with only other rims and interiorcolor?

Or he sold #059 (with red interior) and bought a new Double12 "Unique Edition" with an orange interior and black rims.

I'm leaving the option open that it is #059 with a fresh interior. When adding the MTM package, couldn't one choose for the real-deal, meaning installing much more bits and stripping the car? If so, then adding a new interior might not be such a hassle anymore.
