geographical distribution of Spykers

[amzamz]

... is it possible to make a list of countries, where Spykers are located (owned, registered)? I would be interested in the numbers as well, e.g. how many in Germany, in California etc. It could only be a minimal estimate, but that's at least something to begin with. The list below contains sold cars, and cars at dealers, but NOT company demonstrators, VM's car in his office or race cars.

at first sight I count:
USA 55x C8 Spyder, 31x Laviolette, 1x Double 12
Canada 2x C8 Spyder
Brazil 1x Laviolette
Netherlands 9x C8 Spyder, 1x Laviolette, 2x Double 12
Belgium 2x C8 Spyder, 1x Laviolette
Switzerland 2x C8 Spyder, 1x Laviolette, 1x Double 12
Germany 7x C8 Spyder
United Kingdom 5x C8 Spyder, 4x Laviolette
Spain 1x C8 Spyder
Hungary 1x Double 12
Czech Republic 1x Double 12
Russia 1x C8 Spyder, 2x Double 12
China 4x C8 Spyder, 3x Laviolette, 4x Double 12
Thailand 1x Double 12
Kuwait 1x Double 12
Qatar 1x Laviolette
Singapore 1x Laviolette

I think you have made a mistake with the counting of the spyders in the Netherlands. As far as I know there are at least 3 spyders in the Netherlands owned by people (#007,Dutchdude,Muller). There are also some spyders for sale in the Netherlands.

So do you want us, if we think your list is wrong/incomplete, to complete the list?

[amzamz]

yes, please take my list and update it! I have changed it since your post. Maybe you should either remove your quote, or update it, too... (sorry)

Amazing to think there are only 55 Spyder Spykers in all the US.

I thought (but I don't remember where I got this tidbit) that the US market was about 60% of the total sales. That would put the US at 100+ cars.

HECK, where's European support for the car??

[amzamz]

I have added graphics, based on my preliminary list (see above, first post). yes, USA is dominating... however, I would expect more cars in the Emirates, China and Russia! For many VIN numbers the location is not clear, and there are gaps in the VINs... My list locates 87 out of 96 Spyders, and 44 out of 52 Laviolettes. (taken from the unofficial VIN list)

You guys need to step it up for future orders!

@Amz:
Small remark, there are 2 spyders (for sale) in Belgium instead of 1. And Antonov's #140 has, iirc, a Lithuanian license plate.

Edvar van Daalen found 97 Spyker VINs that have records on CarFax (see here: http://www.spykerowner.com/forum/uno...mbering-5.html), meaning these cars have been at one point in the U.S. However, some of these cars have not stayed in the U.S., for example #007. Also I found #008 on CarFax, which as far as I know also has not stayed here. Aileron #252 has a record on CarFax too.

Counting cars that have not yet appeared on CarFax, as they are still for sale or other reasons, the real number of cars in the U.S. is probably a bit over 100.

... from the annual report 2009 (source: here) combined with what AX lover has compiled (see here), I am counting 291 produced cars, but only 206 cars sold! Now, the geographical distribution considers, e.g., an unsold car in the USA as a "US car", whereas the racers and other unsold cars at Spyker works are not counted as "NL cars"... Why are we missing so many VIN numbers? We need better spies at Zeewolde !

[amzamz]

HECK, where's European support for the car??

... and the (automatic) Aileron will be even more extreme in terms of "No European Support". I am actually surprised the manual C8 is going so well in the US! Perhaps it is all to do with European taxes on luxury cars...

Germany should have much higher sales! With no speed limits on motorways, that makes the country a wonderful everyday race course :lol::lol::lol:! Problem is, that on motorways you can easily do up to 220-250 km/h in tons of Audi, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, and even VW or Opel models! There are surprisingly few Lamborghinis and Ferraris as well. But they are "killed" by the mileage... Spykers are not (I guess, I hope, I know).

SAAB is the European support for Spyker ! Shhhh! Don't tell anyone...

And Antonov's #140 has, iirc, a Lithuanian license plate.

I noted the GB number plate "RK 08 EOR" and counted it for the UK. How do you know the Lithuanian number plates?

I was wrong

Very interesting breakdown of geographic location.
Wonder what the US regional breakdown is?
Most located in Cali or East Coast?
