  • Celebrity Spyker owners...

    Just for kicks, I'll start a list of celebrities (besides myself of course) who own or somehow have been affiliated with a Spyker...I can't attest to the accuracy...some rumoured, some fact...feel free to add or delete as appropriate:

    Owners:
    o Jay Leno
    o Akon (not someone I really want to be associated with!)
    o J-Lo's husband

    Celebs who've driven or stared in a movie w a Spyker:

    o Paris Hilton at BullRun (with classic footage of Paris realizing she could not drive shift)
    Our God is an Unfair God: Paris Hilton to Drive a Spyker C8 Spyder in Bullrun - Defamer - Jalopnik
    o Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct 2
    o Jet-Li in War

    And my favorite of all:

    o Ms. Vitchuda Leenutaphong, Managing Director of SL. International Automobiles Co., Ltd., a Spyker car dealer I believe in Thailand...not a celebrity so to speak, but had I known she existed, I would have dumped Manhattan Motors in a New York minute:lol:

    Numerous actors and athletes have driven various Spykers. Some appear in Youtube videos, particularly the Bullrun 2008 videos.

      Are you sure that Jay Leno is an owner? I haven't heard anything about it.

      J-Lo is correct. She bought a silver/blue C8 spyder for M-A as a present. I heard rumors that they don't have the car any more.

      Swizz-Beatz or something, a rapper also has a Spyker.

              It is my understanding that Jay Leno does not own a Spyker. We spoke last year at his shop, although he was very curious about Aileron coming out, he did comment of the fact that he loves the interior and knew a great deal about the company history.

                      Actually, Ben Roethlisberger plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers football team. Although they were called the Pirates from 1933-1939.

                          Considering I am 32, I think I just "Outed" myself as a car guy, not a Sports fan...

                            I believe someone said it before, but now I'm sure. Rick Koerber ("freecapitalist" and charged for running a ponzi scheme) has/ had 2 spykers.. facebook pics
                            EDIT: I found the topic where it has been mentioned. The silver one is #95, and I think the black one is #150 (same vents, 'spyker' on the grill, same stickers in the interior etc.). I guess they painted the chrome black afterwards.

                              I think the black one might actually be #116
