Nice picture of the 007.



PS Rijk, the new owner of the 007 "only" had to pay € 95.640,- in BPM (Taxes) because the first registration date of this car is 1st July 2005.

I love to see the car open like this, but only a mechanic can work on the engine like this. The rear clam-shell is bolted down and has several air intake elements attached.

Victor told me that there are two reasons for this. First is that it if the car has trouble on the road, the tail lights/reflectors are not visible for upcoming traffic and, Second is that if the clam-shell is not closed correctly, it can function like a suicide door and catch the wind while driving (which apparently has happened to the prototype, with disastrous results).

Maybe others can answer it better, but I guess some of the plates where sometimes used on different cars.

As you know, #007 was seen in Monaco in 2006 with plates C8VRM. However, in 2005, #007 also appeared in Monaco, now with plates C8SPY. That same time, another Spyker was present, with plates N11SPK. That was a black car with dark red interior (probably a LaViolette, but not sure).

Yep, you're right. Present in Monaco, during (again) the Top Marques exhibition in 2005:

@evandaalen, British plates can be used on different cars. I guess Spyker just has a number of plates they use on their demo's.

We did not drive #007 in the snow, but it looks great!!

It has been on the road three times since its dutch registration (11-2007).
It doesn't take long to be spotted................
Pictures were taken on two accasions.
These:

The other picture was a speedingticket. (60km/h where 50km/h was allowed).
Use it where it is build for.

Greets,
Spyker Owner #007

Hi Spyker 007, there is already a thread about your car
#007 - C8 Spyder

Maybe you can post the nice(!) pictures there. This thread can be deleted after that.
