Spyker production begins in Coventry

Supercar maker and new Saab owner Spyker has begun production of its new Aileron model at a purpose-built facility in Coventry.

Spyker's assembly line was transferred from Zeewolde in Holland to the 20,000 sq ft plant operated by CPP (Manufacturing) Limited to save on costs as the majority of the Aileron's components are sourced from companies in the UK.

With one shift working, the new plant is capable of building up to five Ailerons a week. Forty new jobs will be created as result of Spyker's investment, swelling the workforce to 150.
