Jasper @SpykerEnthusiast has turned his passion for Spyker into keeping these cars on the road! The 200-odd Spykers are some of the quirkiest cars in the world, but Jasper and his team are keeping the dream alive. We're also heading out in the one-off Le Mans Double 12 S... let's go!
I'm in the Netherlands to visit Jasper and take a look around the SpykerEnthusiast showroom and workshops, before we're taking out the one-of-one Spyker Double 12 S homologation car - nestling the BMW 4.0l V8 Le Mans engine into a road going Double 12 S. Our tour will take in some amazing stories, such as the rebirth of a car that had previously burnt to the ground, what happened with the B6 Venator and this one-off creation, cars that have lived around the world, and what's happening with new cars for the future.
The new showroom has not been seen before in public, but features some extraordinary cars with unique details and amazing stories. The more time you spend around them, the more there is to understand about the rarity and what makes it so important to Jasper and his team to keep them running and even engineer new components. Not only that, but even to completely build a brand new car from the ground up!
It's a huge thanks to Jasper for taking us on a tour of this venue; having started out as a hobby to build on Spyker cars, and has now become a case of keeping these going and making them even better for the future. You can follow for more at:

Very expensive car's when new.... a base C8 in 2008 set you back $+350k. Cars with such pricetags are mostly bought as a investment... and that's the problem.... That same C8 now is only worth around $18 to 24k depending on how well it is maintained..... It wasn't a stable brand....

@Lovetheducks 2 месяца назад

@@xenax95 I mean clearly we all like what we like but I’ve always found spykers gorgeous. Only issue was they were underpowered for what they are. I find the gorgeous cars and interior is next level.

@HJ-vs7lf 2 месяца назад

It was a parts bin special back then. Much more expensive than a 911 or an R8, but slower. Not as well built. So I think people looking for a usable daily sports car in that price segment, went with those. On the other side, people looking for something exotic, got a Pagani or a Koenigsegg. So its a niche within a niche,, with tough competition at the time.

This makes me think back to when I was at Circuit Zandvoort and they were test driving a prototype of the Spyker C8 when they were developing it. It was not painted, just bare aluminum. But the raw thunder of the Audi V8 you could hear all around the circuit. It is a shame that it went bust. But I love seeing Jasper keeping them alive and even building a new one. And when he mentioned his gold one I thought: that can't be good. But it actually looks great! The only gold car that is not ridiculous. This car is made to be golden.

I very well remember when Spyker was revealed for the first time, I was completely blown away. The interior with the original propeller steering wheel and the gear selector was completely incredible in terms of beautiful materials, attention to detail and finish and I really thank you for bringing back this car, despite is like a Spyker reborn but nevertheless it is clear how much love and passion this fella puts in keeping alive the flame for these extremely unique and beautiful cars. Of course the Zonda and the Huayra and of course the new Utopia by Horacio Pagani are the new reference for this exquisite products but no doubt the C8 Laviolette was the pioneer and for me is really the original car more to be in a museum than inside a car dealership.

@lambert5864 2 месяца назад

Epic! Jasper is doing a great job and it is really true that since he started doing maintenance and making parts the values went up. A lot of Spykers were kept in storage, not driving or sold for way to low prices. Now the price keep going up. There or so many special versions. There is one with a special hardtop with a roofscoop, Jasper should start making those as they are much more pretty then the hardtop in this video. No mention of his D12 SSUV Peking to Paris that he is working on.. ? Kept that for a next video? Thank you Tim for making this video!
