Unidentified VINs

[bucciali]

Played with this idea for a while. While we get to know more and more VINs, there still are plenty cars out there that remain VIN-less :-).

Let's share these here, and see if we can get some matching going. Curious to see any hypothesis on a probable VIN
Could of course also be that my files are out-of-date, but let's wait and see


First batch is all Spyders.
1. Spotted in south of France (Cannes?). Not sure, but believe it has German plates? Characteristic darkbrown interior. I remember the back plate to be really small (US style?).
2. The white-blue Spyder, for sale at Spyker of Frankfurt (Bach Motorcars) [EDIT 09 Sep 2009: Now identified as #177)
3. Blue exterior, tan interior. Spotted in London, in the garage of the Jumeirah hotel.
4. Purple Spyder, in Dubai. Is this #093, the factory demonstrator at the time? How many purple Spyders were there again?
5. Silver Spyder, read interior, with the hardtop, in showroom of Euro Auto group, which I believe is in Russia. Never really found website of this dealer/garage.
6. Red C8 Spyder with tan interior. Shown several times at the Americana Manhasset Concours. Besides Dan's (#152) the only red Spyder that I know of.

2nd batch, all Laviolette's.

1. Only red Laviolette that I know of. Located in USA.
2. The well-known black BI2 Laviolette without the front 'lip', spotted numerous times around Paris, with Saudi-Arabian plates.
3. The well-known Silver Laviolette with green alcantara interior, located in China. So many pictures, so many Chinese, and no pics of the VIN plate
4. Silver Laviolette in Russia. Spotted once, back in 2007, in a beautiful series of photos. Not seen since, so may have been relocated (factory demonstrator?)
5. Black BI2 Laviolette in China.
6. Blue one, tan interior, also in China.

So, how many red Spykers are there? With these two, and Dan's Red/Black it is at least three.

1. Silver Spyder, red interior, at Siam Paragon shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand. It has been on show here for a long while, not sure from when the latest picture I have dates. Could also be back at the Spyker Thailand showroom.
2. Black Laviolette, also at Siam Paragon shopping mall.
3. Black C8 Double 12, also at Siam Paragon shopping mall. Still on display there I believe.
4. Silver Laviolette, on display at the Orlando Exotic Car Gallery. Check their site. They're so clever, they put up a pic of a Spyder
5. Orange Laviolette. Seen various pictures of an orange Laviolette in the States, at various times. First at Manhattan Motorcars, then at Bramann Miami (why does Bramann not have their Spykers listed for sale ANYWHERE?? not on DuPont, not on Zibe, not even on their own websites. Or if so, I haven't found it). I guess this is one and the same, but it could be that besides #186 in Singapore, there are 2 more?
6. Blue Laviolette, on display at the 2008 (?) Brussels Auto Show.

Yes, that's as many as I am counting. Have now noticed that both the Spyder and Laviolette have the same personal collection plates (does it say 'WJY'??).
They have the same interior colour.
And the actual DMV plates are just three digits apart (could be dealer plates though, not sure).


Could it be that the Spyder was converted into Laviolette? If not, then one guy has two red Spykers in his collection! I will have to go and check the time stamps on all my red Spyker pics.

Let's not forget this one. It's been bugging me for a while. Or rather, I have only seen this gorgeous blue Laviolette at the Miami Auto Show. And not with any of the Floridan dealers (Bramann, Pembroke, Tampa/Elder).

There are 2 bright blue Laviolette's: the one with a clear white interior at Park Place and this one with a tan interior.

[Laviolette GT2R]

Well done bucciali, I think I can add a few

I think this one is #050.

By the way the Orange Laviolette in Singapore is #188.

[Laviolette GT2R]

The white-blue Spyder, is no longer for sale at Spyker of Frankfurt / Bach Premium Cars.

The C8 Double 12 mentioned in post #4 (pic 3) can be related to this thread then, I geuss: #??? - C8 Double 12S Black / Yellow RHD.

Because of it seeming to be in the same colour scheme and in the same region (Bangkok)?

...

[Laviolette GT2R]

Yes that's correct Niels. I hope we will find the VIN of this Double 12 one day...
