Here's a pic I found of #040 without roof, plus two others we didn't have yet.Last edited by bucciali; 25-10-2009, 22:35.

Leather EngineCover

When you look thru the back-window of a COUPÉ version of a Double12S you see the engine (#069 in this case):

# 040 however, is/was a SPYDER version (as shown in your post above, #17). So they covered up the engine to protect is from rain and such (I think) when driving topless. See last picture you posted (post#17).
I think that’s the leather cover that is mentioned by ‘Spyker 007’.

At first I thought that Konig Motor in Russia was just advertising generic Spyker models, trying to get orders for the D8 Peking-to-Paris.
But after having translated the sales text in the advertisement for a Double 12 S, our 'Chinese' #040 to be exact, I suspect that this car might indeed be up for sale. The details are quite interesting!
Translated through Google
The unique, made in a single instance of a car - evidenced by a certificate by the manufacturer. The most powerful SPYKER today. BiTurbo V8 4.2, 550 hp, ILAC, 0 - 100km/chas - 3.4 seconds! The car manufacturer SPYKER exhibited at trade shows. The only car SPYKER removable transparent roof (made of polycarbonate) - may add shutter or protective film. The body - aluminum - color Champion Silver, Salon - skin - the color Tropikana Orange, all chrome-plated metal parts (internal and external) - hand polished aluminum. Complete Works' training before the sale, documented factory warranty from the date of purchase.
None of the pics Konig has listed show their showroom, so I have my doubts whether the car is in Russia. It might still be in China, although the pics in this thread that were made at a Chinese dealer come from a generic car portal, where car model info is shared. It wasn't a particular dealer's advertisement, so I can't really make out whether it is for sale through a Chinese dealer. In this regard, I also do not understand why the Chinese Spyker dealers do not have a website (Spyder of China is just dead?).
So, Stephan, another one for your 'For Sale'-thread?Last edited by F Spider; 14-03-2023, 01:15.

Hmmm, I love this color combination on a D12S, nobody can tell what the new color will be?

I hope the rumour is true and that the car soon "comes out to play". It would be nice to see pictures of it, especially with the rooftop off!!Last edited by F Spider; 14-03-2023, 01:15.
