In May 2019, Jasper made a visit to this Spyker in Dubai, previously owned by the Royal family and one of only two Gunmetal with Tropicana interior Laviolette's ever produced. Notably unique, this Laviolette stands out as the sole Spyker crafted with a Tropicana roof upholstery, deviating from the standard Ivory roof upholstery seen in other Laviolette models. Fast forward almost three years to February 2022, and Jasper successfully acquired this Laviolette, adding it to his private collection.
Now under Jasper's ownership, this Spyker is undergoing comprehensive maintenance to restore its roadworthiness. The restoration plan includes minor paint touch-ups on the nose and side skirts, installation of the latest updated tail lights, front splitter, and rear logo. The interior will undergo reupholstery, and the exterior will receive meticulous detailing. The primary objective for this Spyker C8 Laviolette is not just to be owned but to be driven and enjoyed.
Here's an image of the Laviolette being picked up from the transport company.
A lot of the desert sand was taking home with her!
September 2022 we started this Upholstery project with Cools bekledingen, they will renew the full leather interior of the Laviolette in the original color Tropicana. Even the canopi and windshield had to come off since this is the only Laviolette with an upholstered headliner in the same color of the rest as the interior.
