    It looks like it is only a matter of time before you will be able to buy a road going Spyker C8. EPA approved the car. Just need NHTSA to give them the OK. See link:

    The authorized Spyker dealer in Chicago is going to be Bentley Gold Coast(part of Luxury Motors I believe-there have been many discussions on here about them) They have a Spyker on their website listed in the inventory.

    While I was in New York last time I saw one for sell at Manahtten Motor Cars. How could they be selling one there if it is not US legal?

    Heres some pics I took of the one I saw.

    And just for kicks how about a nice Carrera GT picture as well from the same place.

    There's already one out here in a dealership in LA. It's a Spyder model. They say they're an authorized dealer.

    Would you like for me to get the name of the dealer? They're in the valley.

    I always loved their interiors. They look almost like a concept car.

    Dealerships can sell cars that cannot be driven on public streets. You could still take the car to a track and drive it. Bentley Gold Coast has a Spyker on their website. Someone should call them and ask them if it is for sale.

    I saw one today at Beverly Hills Classic Cars. It's not listed in their inventory on their website, which was supposedly updated today.
