Just watched the film War on Sky. couldn't work out what the car was that Jet Lee was driving, but just Googled it and it's a Spyker C8 Spyder.

What a great Rear End. I want one.

Just need to sell the wife and kids.

Unfortunately Steve it is one of those cases were the arse looks good but the face looks like a bulldog licking p&** off of a thistle

I love the gearstick and the view of the inlets behind the seats.

Looking at the pictures - especially the dash - how can something that couldnt possibly pass an SVA be sold and used in this country

Whilst the dash looks not overly SVA friendly, everything does have a large radius on it. Claire which bit(s) do you think would fail?
And no air filter?? That won't last long round my way.

We have a Spyker dealership in our village, me and my son are often asked to move on by the local constable and the dealer principal for dribbling in public places.

I quite like the Spyker in a sort of retro modern type of way - it is certainly individual and has a lot of unique features.

They used to use guards between the toggle switches (same as the BMW MINI). You can just about see them in the interior photo here.

Don't know whether ball ended toggles are allowed, but I presume they must be. The non-ball ended ones may be low enough to avoid testing. It certainly looks thought out regarding radii.

Not really my cup o' tea but the air intake is "da shizzle".

The C8 rear always reminds me of a GTM Libra. I love the quilted interior though, my lottery run-a-round would be a Tungsten grey Flying Spur with red quilted leather interior.

Yuk. Looks like a blinged up Max Power Masserati.....

Shame on them

They used to build such nice cars in 1902.....

More like the roundyness of the Spyder I reckon..
