The financial swamp in which Spyker is appears the manufacturer continues to pull down. Employees are not paid more, a faillisementsaanvraag threatens, and Spyker should be very creative to still parts to come.

Victor Mullers company has for some time been on the brink of the precipice, teetering should be known: some time ago the share of Spyker delisted (who now Spyker-securities want, you can turn to Jordan Belfort), from the most recently published figures, we can see that there are hardly any still being produced in Zeewolde, Spyker occurred in July, barely a seizure on the majority of the estate.

Of the B6 Venator calls Spyker that this production ready, but the car can just as well still in the prototype phase. The last thing we do as a CEO Muller have heard is that there is a release in 2015 is targeted.

Bankruptcy

Internal sources reported to Autoblog that a bankruptcy petition from creditors ‘ hands. For today is a speech by Muller to the employees in the planning, which undoubtedly is peppered with rainbows and pink unicorns. The fact is that the staff of Spyker still on his salary of August wait, which means that the late payments after today up to 2 monthly salaries to rise.

Because the staff is not paid, this will be largely at home, including the complete engineering department and some individual forces.

Onderdelenschaarste

That the water Spyker on the lips is as poignant as sadly illustrated by the following: providers are not paid more, and therefore supply no more. The result is that employees are bolts and nuts are now at local hardware stores buy.

The headlights in the Aileron to be mounted are still prototypes, as it is in the production of the headlights to cost a lot of money, and Spyker have an account open with the company that supplies them. The positive that we can take, is that there seems to be some form of production. That Spyker this creative must be evidenced by unconfirmed stories that the old chassis be reused for new models.

Workshop Zeewolde emptied

Spykers main location at the Edisonweg in Zeewolde is according to another source ‘strikingly low’. The equipment are spread over several buildings in Zeewolde, suggesting that the mood feels stuck, and parts from the view of creditors want to extract.

Comment Spyker

We called prior to publication with the spokesperson of Spyker, for a comment on the above points. Unfortunately, he gave in advance to any comments to want to deliver.

Also that is a reaction of course.
