    Recently had the priviledge of working on this rare gem, wanted to share it with the rest of the Ferrari Chat community as it's not really something we see often unless you come to the West Chester C&C! Belonging to an Fchat member, SpykerBAS.

    I am attaching a few photos and will provide a link to the full 100+ picture write up on the vehicle as well. Please enjoy!

    Neat car! You certainly don't see those on the road every day. Given that they have been here in the US for several years now I am surprised that they don't receive more publicity.

    Sorry to step on somebodies thread, but there was so much interest in Brett's ride I thought I throw this up.
    This is truly a unique and amazing car. It really looks different in every situation that the car is seen in and is by far the best car I have ever seen for just Balls-to-the-wall engineered detail. It literally rivals the greatest of the old Packards, Rolls or the stuff at Radnor Hunt.
    Beautiful.

    Come down to the Amelia Island Concours and you'll see Spykers all over the place. I interviewed Carsten Preisz, vp of sale and marketing down there. Got a quick ride in one and yes, that Audi V8 sound is incredible! Nothing fancy computer wise in these cars. Its all seat of the pants, hit it hard stuff.

    Picture 4 you might notice he who shall not be named. Picture 5 is why I love going to Amelia, you just never know what is around the corner.

    Sweet ride and congrats to the owner for picking up such a unique and fun car. Its engineered like a fine watch that has v-8 ballz.

    regards

    lm also surprised these cars dont get as much attention as the other exotics. I'm just amazed at the engineering and the perfect mix of elegance, and aggressiveness imo.

    It really was a priviledge to work on this car, and would really like to see a wider appreciation of these cars. They may not be the greatest performers in their class, but they sure turn heads more than the others in its class.

    I love Spykers sooooooooooooooo much. The company is full of wonderful people. I had the privilege of working with them a couple years ago and getting plenty of seat time on and off the track. I hope you don't mind me sharing some of the photos I've taken of Spykers.

    Here's one I drove around Pebble Beach. I love this color combo.
