Car lights of Spyker supercars to be fitted in Coventry
Posted by Tom Benjamin
Assembly of Spyker supercars, which will no doubt include the installation of car lights, has moved to the UK.
The new Aileron supercar was previously assembled in Zeewolde, Holland but started production yesterday (February 9th) in a new plant at CPP Manufacturing Limited, Coventry.
Around 40 new jobs are expected to be created so that the Dutch car company can meet production targets at the location.
Victor Muller, founder of Spyker Cars NV, said: "Coventry has been at the forefront of quality automotive design and production and Spyker wants to be a lasting part of that. This marks a new and very exciting era for Spyker."
He went on to say that the company will make considerable efficiency savings as more than half of its components are already sourced from the UK.
Spyker recently announced that it had entered into a $25 million (£15.9 million) convertible loan agreement with an investment company so as to secure the funding necessary for its take-over of SAAB.
