1903 Spyker 60hp 6 cylinder 8.8 litre 4 wheel drive

spyker-sw-coil.jpg (3850 bytes) Shown here is a Bosch DR6 dual ignition magneto and High Tension Switch/Trembler coil. I "created" this magneto from two donor mags combined with some specially made parts especially for the car shown below. It is a 6cyl 4wd racing car built by Spyker in 1903 and is the only one of it's kind in the world. spyker-bosch-du6.jpg (4292 bytes)
 

Designed in 1902 and built in 1903 this is considered to be the first purpose built 4 wheel drive racing car in the world and is certainly the first 6 cylinder 4 wheel drive in the world and the only example ever produced by Spyker.
