mm good point :lol:. When Spyker came up with this car in 1903:



It was the first petrol powered car with 4wd, and brakes on the front wheels, and the first with a six cylinder engine.

I've never seen this before, check out these photos:

It looks like the transparent panels in the roof have been removed, and a small spoiler to deflect the wind has been placed in front of it..



Any ideas what the VIN is?

Here is a picture of the interior.

Not by heart. But the car is known on SO. If I recall correctly this one also had a child seat fitted in the past.

Mm I checked all the black/red laviolettes from the register, with no results. Maybe you've seen it in the owner's section?

Wait a minute, it must be #128! I dismissed that one because Car Nutz Customs heavily customized that one. But they must have removed some off the modified stuff: the Audio screen, black rims, livery etc. The duo tone interior and black side indicator have remained the same. It's more of a modest Spyker back again.

I have found the car! It's at the 'Imported Auto Expo Beijing 2010'.

Seems like a wide body vehicle, with the previous softtop system. It has a black stripe running over the hood and black wheels. Those are the new side mirrors or not? The car is sold according to some newspapers. You can see 'China automobile trading company' behind the Spyker: Spyker made a deal with them last year to distribute Spykers in China.

On the Spyker of China website there is a press release, I google translated it:
