The Story of a One-Off Gold Spyker with an Extremely Expensive Louis Vuitton Option

The Gold Spyker Double 12

• 🎯 Jasper recounts the story of acquiring a unique gold and black Spyker Double 12, one of only four two-tone models ever built.
• 🔍 The car was a mystery for years, with its location unknown until a photo surfaced on Instagram in Prague.
• 💰 After a few years of negotiation, the owner agreed to sell, seeking a good home for the car as he was aging.

Unique Features and Options

• 💡 The car, despite having an automatic gearbox (considered a downside), was equipped with nearly every available option, including heated seats and Kronos Swiss gauges.
• 🎨 The interior featured a yellow and black color scheme, which Jasper found mismatched with the gold exterior.
• ✨ The car's unique color combination and its status as a one-off made it highly desirable for Jasper's collection.

The Louis Vuitton Connection

• 👜 A significant discovery was the presence of five custom-made Louis Vuitton bags designed specifically for the Spyker.
• 🤝 This bespoke luggage harks back to a historical connection between Spyker and Louis Vuitton in the early 1900s, when Spyker raced with fitted Louis Vuitton luggage.
• 💰 This Louis Vuitton set is considered one of the most expensive options ever offered, rumored to cost around €100,000 at the time.

Driving and Rarity

• 🛣️ Jasper considers the gold Spyker a driver's car and actively uses it, having driven it to 15,000 km, making it potentially the highest mileage Spyker Double 12.
• 🚗 He notes that only a few owners, including himself and a friend with a white-blue Double 12, actively drive these rare cars.
• 🛠️ The rarity and historical significance, especially the unique Louis Vuitton luggage, make this car a prized possession.
