Hi Rhino, welcome back, and congratulations with #113. Did you miss #171? Can't wait to see what you are planning. The picture in your post is still missing.

I think you still have access to the owner part of the site, but all activity is in this side of the forum. There is also Spyker Register on facebook that you can check out. We are getting help to fill in the missing cars from the register. Rijk

Rijk, I sure did miss #171 and that’s the reason why I started looking again. I was originally trying to buy Laviolette #159 as it’s already in Canada but I could not make a deal with the owner. I’m friends with John T from Curated and he wanted one of my vintage Lambos and he had #113 so it worked out very well. I’m really happy #113 has the matching luggage and propeller steering wheel.

unfortunately I don’t have access to the owners section anymore

I will give FB a search for the Spyker register but to be honest I’m rarely on that space!

I will try that picture again…..

She has landed in Vancouver BC. I just got insurance and will be picking it up next weekend.

This is so exciting. Congratulations

Thank you. Picking it up this weekend, just hope it doesn’t rain as the roof was not shipped with the car

Took delivery today. I only drove it about 30 minutes in terrible traffic but it was so sweet to be behind the wheel of a C8 again. It’s such a sweet little go-kart with a glorious exhaust note!

Had a great 400km trip from Vancouver to Kelowna BC Canada. Avoided the rain and snow!

IMG_9928.jpeg IMG_9925.jpeg IMG_9927.jpeg You guys are going to think I’m crazy but I have wrapped my Spyker pink and white in the MC12 style livery. I also wanted to honour the history between Spyker and Louis Vuttion so added some LV pattern in the door jams. My factory wheels are the magnesium wheels that are prone to cracking so I replaced them with Rotiform wheels that have a fan blade style look, they are brushed aluminum with a gloss white face. Jasper showed me how to lower my car so I dropped it pretty low, I don’t recommend going this low as the front lip does hit very easy and you can’t open the front clam shell without driving onto some ramps.
