Hi Jos

I have no idea what sort of car the Spyker is but it just reinforces my love of the Dutch. Truly an awesome country.

Cheers

Jack

Could this be the same company which made a car that finished the 1st Peking to Paris rally (& then was run again only a few years ago) ?

Kind Regards,

Peter that was a great series. I really enjoyed it. Maybe we could organise
GT40's Peking to Paris.

From what i could find in wiki the spyker got 2nd but in fact the name is almost the same (Spyker Cars) and also some other details like logo etc but they started a brand new sports car company. They are running at
le
mans for over a few years now and even bought a f1 team (former minardi).

never mind my Friend,

In Italy the situation is even worst...and this is not a joke or simply a show..they have 3 in service... (as well as in the past, Rome police had a super black Ferrari 275....ihihih)

I am surprised that given the cars on offer the Italian equivalent of Australias traffic operation group doesn't have a massive waiting list of people trying to sign up. Imagine the piles of paper work involved as you have to report yet another "completely necessary - read completely fictional" high speed chase to the top brass.

the other (for me nicer) car used by italian Police was this unique ferrari 250 GTE used by Rome's squadra mobile in 1962.
The legendary driver of this shiny black beauty was Commissario Spadafora, nearly a race pilot...able to catch outlaws with his superfast ferrari

..and we come back in the 60s again
