Spyker has had a heap of problems over the years, not remotely connected to the current ‘Car-Woes’. It has basically struggled to finance what it has been doing. A disastrous flirtation with F1 cost it dear, and it simply struggled to function and get cars out.
But those problems faded last year when Spyker got solid investment from a Russian banker. Which means Spyker can once more push forward after a period of struggle, although what impact the crisis engulfing the car market in general will have is anybody’s guess.
