Raise your Heinekens to the sky, esoteric sports vehicle lovers: Spyker is not and never ever was bankrupt. According to the Dutch supercar business, a nearby court has now overturned the company’s bankruptcy ruling from December and rendered the selection “null and void.” Spyker lives! B6 Venators for everybody, ja!
If it were only that simple. While Spyker now claims to have “bridge funding” from an unidentified supply and will settle with its creditors “in a matter of weeks,” the firm has not disclosed where it is going to create the B6 Venator, the $ 187,000 6-cylinder sports-auto notion very first shown in 2013. In response to our concerns about its vacated factory (it was evicted), meager cash flow (roughly the median worth of a U.S. property), a bond program to fund B6 development (don’t ask), and a random merger with a mysterious American electric aircraft business, Spyker told us that CEO Victor Muller “has selected to not give any additional comments at this stage besides the press release issued yesterday” and that “more info shall be provided in due course.” Excellent!
Muller’s current plan is to construct battery-electric Spykers in the “foreseeable future,” by which he may help with yet another bond scheme or stock sale to a Chinese company. Soon after reviewing Spyker’s public financial reports—which the business hasn’t updated in a year and a half—we’re thinking 2015 will not be the year any person methods into a new B6. (May we direct you to the nearest Porsche retailer?) On the flip side, kudos to Spyker for staying above water—for now, at least.
A 40 year old man appeared in the Bela Bela Magistrates’ Court on a charge of possession of a suspected stolen vehicle, after he was found hiding a vehicle which was stolen from the parking lot of a shopping centre in Pretoria last year.
The suspect, Cornelius Jansen van Rensburg was arrested over the weekend after police members followed up information about a Toyoya Hilux double cab which was hidden in a shack at the Donosa informal settlement just outside Bela Bela. The vehicle was recovered and when circulated it was found to have been stolen from the Sinoville Mall where it was parked in the parking lot during October last year.
The case against the suspect was remanded to 26 January 2014 for further investigation – he was not released on bail and will remain behind bars until his next court appearance.
Investigations to determine whether the suspect might be involved in more cases of vehicle theft are currently underway.
2 suspects, Sam Andries Maimela, 33, and his accomplice, Wonder Solly Masango, 21, who were arrested by the South African Police Service’s (SAPS) Cross Border Operations Unit for alleged theft of 2 Tractor-Loader-Backhoe (TLB’s) worth a combined estimated R3 million, will appear in the Ga-Rankuwa Magistratres’ Court on 15 August 2014.
The unit’s members seized one of the TLB’s at a house in Winterveldt, Pretoria, whilst the second was found hidden at a house just metres away from the initial property. Upon inspection of the earth moving equipment, the police discovered that their chassis number had been tempered with.
The machinery was impounded and taken to Loate Police Station for safe keeping. It was while the TLB’s were at the station that the suspects were arrested by members of the Loate Police Station when they were trying to steal the machinery and one of the TLB’s was already idling.
Preliminary investigations by the members revealed that one of the TLB’s was reported stolen in Amandasig, north of Pretoria, and has since been handed over to the owner. The remaining TLB is in safekeeping at a local SAPS vehicle impounding facility.
The suspects, Maimela and Masango who are facing theft charges have appeared in the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrates’ Court on 27 July 2014 and were granted R1000 bail. They will appear in the same court again on Friday.
The Royal Palace at Hampton Court will play host to the renowned Concours of Elegance this September, when hundreds of historic cars will be displayed on its perfectly manicured grounds.
The Concours d’Elegance (to give it its French name) originated in 18th Century France, with the aristocracy displaying off their decorative horse-drawn carriages every year by parading them around Parisian parks.
It is now one particular of the critical dates of the year on the motoring calendar, as more than 700 of the world’s rarest and historic automobiles go on show to the general public.
The event took place at Windsor Castle in 2012 and at St James’s Park in London in 2013.
Best of the greatest
The Concours of Elegance takes location from September 5-7, but September 6 is the essential date of the weekend, as this is when The Club Trophy 2014 will be presented to the ‘Best of the Best’.
Around 60 of the rarest cars in the world have been invited to participate in the competitors, and over 2-thirds of these will be coming from overseas particularly for the occasion.
Of the crème de la crème, around a third are being shipped more than from the USA, while one more 20 or so are coming from the rest of the world. The remaining third are primarily based in the UK.
Racing pedigree
Automobiles competing for the trophy include a unique Zagato-bodied Jaguar XK140 from 1957, and a 1928 Amilcar C6, which raced in several French Grand Prix in the 1920s and 1930s, such as the 1935 and 1936 ‘Bol d’Or’ races.
2 Maseratis will also be on show, a uncommon MC12 from 2007, and a 3-litre Tipo 8CTF.
The Tipo was driven by Count Felice Trossi, who famously loaned the car to Paul Pietisch for the 1939 German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring.
A spark plug difficulty put paid to the auto winning the race, even although it was major initially, so it ended up finishing third behind the ‘Silver Arrow’ racers of Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz.
Marques of distinction
Other confirmed entrants incorporate rarely observed models from Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, Delage, Ferrari, Hispano-Suiza, Lancia, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Siata, Rolls-Royce and Talbot-Lago.

Arizona’s policy of denying driver’s licenses to men and women who came to the U.S. illegally as young children was blocked by a federal appeals court in San Francisco, which stated the measure is possibly unconstitutional.
The policy most most likely violates equal protection rights of people covered under the federal “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” plan, the court mentioned these days, approving a temporary order blocking enforcement although a legal challenge to the policy proceeds.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who backed the state’s very first- of-its-type crackdown on undocumented immigrants in 2010, referred to as the deferred action plan a “lawless directive” that does not give immigrants “authorized presence” in the U.S.
“It is outrageous, though not entirely surprising, that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has once once again dealt a blow to Arizona’s capacity to enforce its laws,” Brewer, a Republican, stated in an e-mailed statement. “The ruling is specially disturbing given the present influx of illegal aliens, a crisis President Obama designed and escalated.”
The quantity of unaccompanied, undocumented children crossing the U.S. border with Mexico is on the rise. Much more than 52,000 unaccompanied young children have arrived at the border this fiscal year even though June 15, about double the quantity in a related period in 2013, according to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Obama on June 30 asked Congress for emergency funds and legal authority to stem the increasing flow of kids into the U.S. and mentioned legislation may be necessary to increase penalties for folks smuggling them.
The 2012 “deferred action” initiative lets any person who came to the U.S. illegally ahead of age 16 and is in school, has no criminal record and meets other requirements remain in the country and obtain a perform permit.
The 3-judge panel said beneficiaries of the program in Arizona were likely to succeed on the merits of their lawsuit claiming the state’s rules prohibited them from getting driver’s licenses are illegal.
The U.S. Supreme Court scaled back parts of Arizon’s 2010 immigration law, ruling the federal government has exclusive authority to set immigration policy.
“After but another loss in court, Arizona need to cease its senseless battle against immigrants,” Victor Viramontes, an lawyer with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund representing 5 individuals suing Arizona, stated in an e-mail.
Brewer stated she was contemplating options to appeal today’s ruling.
The case is Arizona Dream Act Coalition v. Brewer, 13-16248, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (San Francisco).
