<\/a><\/p>\n GTspirit took a trip over to Distinctive Collection<\/a> in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Distinctive Collection is a certified Bentley, Aston Martin, Fisker and Spyker dealership which also sells and services new and pre-owned luxury automobiles from Bentley, Aston Martin, Spyker, Fisker, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Lotus, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and more.<\/p>\n Distinctive Collection not only deals with sales, but they service most exotic cars in their extensive repair and care care shop. During our visit, a Lamborghini Murcielago, Ferrari F430, Ferrari 458 Italia, Aston Marin Rapide, Bentley Continental GT and many others were up on the lifts receiving their summer tune-ups.<\/p>\r\n Sitting in the centre of the showroom was a silver 2009 Spyker C8 Spyder. The car has never been test-driven or moved out of the showroom since it arrived in the city. Distinctive Collection staff say that the Spyker market in the city isn’t incredibly high, which is mind-boggling considering the high-end cars we’ve seen driving around the city over the past week. The exclusivity and rarity of the vehicle, not to mention the stand-out factor, is attractive enough that we thought at least one or two would be driving around in this affluent city by now. Distinctive Collection has only sold one Spyker – a C8 Laviolette – to an interested party in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.<\/p>\n
