 They either had the open running boards or the filled in ones. Most trays they came on had a small label with a reference to 'Genevieve' , a movie about a car,  in which a Spyker was thus named. All model sported green seats. The plated versions did however throw up some hard to find variants on the painted version, where the bases with the bosses on are very rare. I would consider variants 7 and 12 listed here as one off models much like the following Mercedes. In pic 3 and 4  is the ultra rare Spyker in gold and for this one I have to thank Ricardo Cortes-Monroy , isn't it just stunning
