      It looks like the roof lining of this car is also orange, or am I wrong?

        Yes, it appears to be. Sorry, I didn't give much thought to shooting the roof!

        Others with orange interiors don't have orange roof linings?

          As far as I know the roof lining of a C8 Laviolette most of the times is white. Al LM85’s have a sporty black alcantare roof upholstery. This photo, I took of #029, shows the white upholstery.

            Where did you see that?

            Remember a Spyker is a tailormade product.
            If you say pink, you'll have it in pink.

              Wouter, I'm looking at your photo, and I'm noticing how close the headrests are to the roof. Honestly, I don't think I'd fit in one of these; I'm 6 feet, 4 inches tall! So much for my dream of winning the lottery and buying one!

              Or is it an illusion? How high are the headrests?

                It´s an illusion. I´m 6'3" and have no problem fitting in the Laviolette.
                My Ferrari is a lot smaller.

                      image_3897.jpg image_3901.jpg image_3902.jpg image_3903.jpg image_3899.jpg This car is now at Spyker of Chicago in Northbrook, Illinois. I went there today; the Spyker tech Jonathan let me sit in it! (This is my new Coolest Car I've Ever Sat In) This car was ordered for stock and is available!

                      Here are some more pictures of "my" Spyker.

                        The roof is indeed covered in orange leather.

                          I was surprised how much room I had in the car; headroom was not an issue, thanks to the glass roof. It certainly has more room than the last Lotus I sat in!

                              Ah, I suppose it was bound to happen eventually! Apparently they couldn't wait on me any longer - the lottery numbers just weren't cooperating!

                              She's a beauty, glad she found a home. I sure hope the new owner puts some good miles on her and joins SO as well!
