djweetos that is a stunning car. The Dutch are great people I’m English and I love the Dutch I used to work in the Nederland’s, I worked all over the country from venray and venlo on the German border along to Breda, uden scheveningen Nijmegen Leiden noordwijkerhout, den helder, Edam and volendam stapohorst and meppel and I even worked on one of the islands teschelling that place was weird I think there was a lot of incest and inbreeding going on there as some of the ugliest people ive seen live there and normally Dutch people are really good looking and when I looked in the graveyard there was only about 6 different surnames and there seemed a lot of people with deformities and mental disabilities even the man I worked for had a club foot and one leg shorter than the other so he had to wear one big Frankenstein boot.

Donkervoort did want to make his own Brand ,back then new Dutch Car Legislation forced him to change the Lotus Seven he Imported from the UK. For Example ; the Lotus Seats were not wide enough for Dutch law,so he had to widen the Chassis,had to change the Wheelbase...ect ect. And then he decided ,I will use my own Name ! Big respect for the Guy and his Crew !
@lexburen5932

no the seat was not high enough. And the guy before joop who imported lotus had no certificate, he did it illegal, and the lotus wasnt road legal in the netherlands. So yes joop hen needed to make his own chassis, wich become the super 8.

Always had sympathy for the brand and the cars they produce. They are in so many ways the counterpart of Spyker, the other Dutch car producer, who seem to be stuck in financial contructions to develop never to be built concepts. Donkervoort race, build, develop and sell their cars to a relative small number of enthousiasts and don't seem to feel the urge to change or expand.
