Jan-Paul ten Hoopen, Commercial Director McGregor: McGregor and Spyker share a unique heritage and "pure passion" for craftsmanship, design and exclusivity. We already had a close relation with the Spyker Squadron that is very successful. When Spyker Cars became the owner of an F1 Team we immediately decided that this would be a unique opportunity for us to make the McGregor brand even stronger.
At the moment we are finalising the new "Spyker F1 by McGregor" collection which will be launched Spring 2007. We are really happy with this co-operation and proud that our brand is associated with this unique project. We are looking forward to the launch of the new orange F1 car and we like to wish Spyker F1 Team lots of success with their mission.
