    I am still waiting for someone to beat that (GPS or official clocking, please). Should be easy, as I have done mine on public motorways in traffic... and I have the old body / no race trim (scary aerodynamics!!!). Be careful!

    (since my speedo shows typically 10% higher, the reading would have been 306 km/h, but of course I didn't look....)
    300 kph in an Aileron test car, ticket to prove it, you must love the French police as they invited us for tea afterwards...

        Invited to tea . . . ? Wow, that is a first, JP.

        I consider it a victory if, after getting pulled over, the officer and I part company without rancor.

          It was a nice ending to the ticket, Sander was also present. It happened just outside of Monaco in the French countryside, the Police were amazed with the SPyker....ticket rescinded

                          during build in the new factory department. #148 was the first car built there. Also my first built at Spyker. love the color combination.

                            Great photos. Thank you for posting them.

                            The orange car in the background must be #207 I think?

                              I think so, or the #119 but that's a CPP body am i right?
                              The one one the picture is a Karmann for sure.
                              So almost certainly your car in it's early stages

                                CPP bodies stop at #081. But surely, the #119 would have been finished way before the #148....
