    I love how it doesn’t have satellite navigation or any tech. Its a car that won’t let technology make it old in a few years. Nothing kills a car faster than outdated tech. In 50 years it will still be beautiful.

      Very very true. Those multimedia screens make me lose it completely and I have deep, deep hate for touch buttons.
      The person who came up with touch screens in a car should be shot and dragged out to the streets.

    This car is actually genius. Same concept as Bugatti's Veyron, no screens that end up outdated and old-looking after a couple years, nothing attempting to look modern only to fall out of style soon after...It's designed timeless, brilliant really.

    Must have seen this clip a dozen times over the years. Today was the first time I came across one on the road. Spotted it from a good distance, telling my misses to look, that's something special in the distance. Caught up with it and turned out to be a C8. Style-wise, it could have rolled out of a factory yesterday. Wonderous piece of design.

    Interior was designed with the WW1 aircraft in mind. The steering wheel for example is designed after a propeller. Too bad you won't hear much lately about them, they still produce cars but hardly any press coverage about it. New models include 'C8 Aileron' (concept), 'B6 Venator' (concept) and 'B6 Venator Spyder' (concept). All look a bit like a famous specific British car... Yet better!

    I was the car deal;er in London that represented Spyker back then. Little garage on Radley Mews call Hunt and Keal. We were a Spyker, Morgan, and Subaru dealer.....with a few classic Bentleys and Rolls thrown in for fun. It was a great place to work and I have many a happy afternoon with the Spyker. We had a very early production car......the brakes where shocking and the fuel filler (in one of the air scoops) would not allow you to fill up without it clicking out the entire time. I must have done 2 or 3 thousand miles in it and loved every second though!

      How many Spyker cars did you sell in the UK, do you know how many Spykers are made and sold in total in the world ? I ask because after them going out of business it is probably impossible to buy one especially the black version with Bordeaux red interior. They are more rare than any other limited edition supercar in the world. They are talking about reviving Spyker, but as usual the CEO has trouble financing it. He tough he could take over Saab back in the day which was Spykers downfall.

      Besides, Dutch people only speak Dutch and English, that's hardly many.
      The Flemish speak Dutch, French, English and German. And sometimes more, like I also speak Spanish and my friends also Italian and Portuguese, or Chinese. We have more of a knack for languages, as we mix Germanic and Roman from an early age, being so close to France.

And it is part of the country, for sure, just wish they'd start behaving like it. Like Dutch is a choise there, with us French is obligatory, but that's just one example.

    Spyker did a unique and stunning car that was a real niche in the market.
    Saab acquisition was a dangerous move and actually not a real allied one.
    The past bankruptcy is just the result of a poor post-acquisition operating synergy that comes from implementation issues.
    The lost of their design manager also affected the result of the latest model which I personally do not like; a huge part of their retro features is missed.
    I would personally buy an old one, the investment would be always levered:
    if the company survives fine and that means they will redesign a better successor of the old C8; it deserves a better one than the Preliator.
    In the worse case senario the C8 jumps but it won't loose value as long as you do not crash it into a tree.
    P.S.:
