Spyker relocates to Coventry

Dutch manufacturer Spyker Cars has switched assembly of its Aileron supercar to Coventry.
Its decision to move production to a new plant near CPP Manufacturing’s base on Wheeler Street will create about 40 new jobs.
Company founder Victor Muller said: "This move makes sense on many different levels. CPP has been producing our body panels for 10 years and we have an extremely close working relationship with the company."
He continued: "More than half our components are sourced from the UK, so moving here will bring us considerable efficiency savings which is vital for a car company of our size.
"In addition, this area has probably the richest heritage in car production of any region in the world. CPP has shown that the tradition of quality is very much alive and well in the Midlands region and in Coventry in particular, and that can only bring benefits to us."
