Hans, Thanks.

Spyker C8 Combo with #007

... are those Belgian number plates on the car???? which car is that?

[AX lover]

Yep Belgium plates. I guess it is the car the crashed in Belgium. And if I remember correctly SpykerX3 said the VIN is #030.

The car that was crashed in Belgium did not have the engine air inlet tube on the reardeck. The car on the photograph with 007 does have this tube.

[AX lover]

Do you know that Balkenende spinned your Spyker on the circuit? Don't know if there are pictures from that accident

[AX lover]

Some Dutch quotes about the spin:

Zo ook gebeurde het dat ons aller JP een Spyker C8 Spyder over het asfalt mocht sturen en ‘m richting de Gerlachbocht achterstevoren parkeerde zonder enige geldige reden. Het zal de politicus Balkenende geweest zijn die even de overhand kreeg toen hij werd ingehaald werd door zijn eigen achterkant. Immers een politicus is gewent aan “draaikonten”…

Iemand nog beelden van de spin van Balkenende in de Spyker bij het uitkomen van Tarzan ?

Jeffrey, I found a watch for you that matches your 007's interior!

Jeffrey, you're getting enough pics for a nice scrapbook!

Actually, Spyker Cars made a book with #007 at different events for us. Very nice!

However the more pictures, the better!

Had #007 outside for a wash and a dry today.
She upstairs again, enjoying her special Spyker PJ's.

#007 in good company: Side by side with a McLaren F1

I had seen this one a long time ago, probably when I was active on the McLaren F1 board. But I came across it again this weekend, and I'm thinking it's 007. Jeffrey, do you know when exactly #007 got the '007' plaque on the side-skirts?

No doubt this is #007:

Augergine (purple) and a hardtop. There is only one.

Don't know when 007 was added. (edit: Somewere between 05-2005 when new and first spot with april 7th 2006)

[bucciali]

It's nice to have that timeline, I'll have to scan for more pics, I bet there are many more of 007 in my collection.

BTW, did we already conclude whether 007 was the one that was in China in 2004? Can't remember whether we discussed it....

That's actually pretty neat! You don't get that with just any manufacturer. Again proof of a phenomenal focus on customer service, I would say.

And uhm, what are PJ's????
