finishing up college in 2002, I went to school with a guy
that worked the Air Freight dock out at Sea-Tac airport. One
day he calls me up and asked if I had ever heard of a
Spyker, him knowing I like cars and planes. I hadn't and he
said I should drive up to the airport. He and his crew had
just unloaded 2 Spykers that had came in for testing of some
sort. I drove up to check them out after work that
afternoon. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw
them! Their high polished aluminum, machined dash with the
aviation toggles and prop wheels. The shifting linkage was
in full view and it was spectacular. The first car was black
and had their signature quilted sewn leather in oxblood. It
was amazing. The detail on the pedals was amazing and on and
on you could go about the thing. The other car was similar
but had white with the tan interior. Many of you might have
made it down to Parkplace Motors in Bellevue and seen their
Spyker cars that are occasionally for sale in the show room.
To this day I am blown away at the artisan way they finish
cars. So today I was reading Piston heads and it turns out
that it is completely possible that the new Spyker B6
Venator is a re-worked Lotus Evora. Of course that is a
guess, but it's exciting that (if true) Lotus is continuing
to expand as platform for development and technical
expertise for other impressive marquees in the auto
industry. Here’s a link to the story with, more importantly,
the pictures:</span></div>
