This was so much fun for me to share the car with Sam and his audience. I was fortunate to be able to sell these cars and go to Spyker training when they were new and available here in the USA. I really love to see the public reaction when they see a Spyker for the first time as they are truly something very special to behold in person. I am even more lucky now to be able to care for one of these cars as it is in a collection that I get to manage! "Nulla tenaci invia est via" (For the tenacious, no road is impassible). -Shannon Low

I went to the European Gran Prix back in 2006 and seen the Spyker Race drivers drive two of these around the circuit in the iconic Orange Spyker Livery and just fell in love with them, they are beautiful cars, definitely up there with my favourites, I only wish their financial situation would get sorted, the one car i always wanted to see produced was the D10 Peking to Paris SUV. It would be amazing to see what they could produce now.

I still don't think there are many cars, even this many years later, that would trump a Spyker for curbside presence. It's that whole sophisticated-but-bonkers ethos and all of the attention to detail in the design. I've seen a couple in person and I can almost guarantee I was late to wherever I was going for the sake of staring at the tail pipes or polished ducting, or the rear view mirror, or the switchgear etc. ad astra.
