I have never seen 8 Spykers in one place at the same time until Friday at The Paddock during Monterey Car Week.
Spyker’s identity is in its aviation heritage, dating back to when the original Spyker company produced aircraft during World War I. This influence is immediately apparent.
Spyker cars do not look like any other cars. Judge for yourself – below are some of my photos from this day.
Let us know what you think in the Comments.
More photos are in the 3 slide shows below.

Thank you for being a part of our event, Michael. We love you!
Tom Tjaarda was reading my book of the Spyker company at my shop in 2010. He called out to me to come and see this photo. Tom said that is my dad’s (John) brother Jaap Tjaarda showing off his new Spyker design of the 1908 or 1911 Spyker car and had four wheel drive, four wheel brakes and one if not the first 6 cylinder engine. He was so proud to pronounce to me that he was from a family of car designers.
Enjoy
Very cool Jeff – thanks for sharing this. I love those fenders.
