Spyker C8 SpyderSpyder - History
The history of Spyker dates back to 1898 in Amsterdam, where the company started as a coachbuilder before venturing into automobile manufacturing. A pioneer in its field, in 1903 they created the first six-cylinder car with all-wheel drive and four-wheel brakes. The brand adopted its emblematic Latin motto “Nulla tenaci invia est via” in 1915, accompanied by its famous propeller logo. Resurrected in 1999 by Victor Muller and Maarten de Bruijn, Spyker reconnected with its tradition by presenting the C8 at the Birmingham Motor Show in 2000.
This Spyker C8 Spyder, chassis number ‘110‘, is the last car to leave the Spyker factory before the brand’s bankruptcy, making it a piece of automotive history.
