The company known as 'Swan' has struck several deals to sell Spyker, but closed none. In September it said it would sell Spyker to US firm North Street Capital for (euro) 32 million ($41 million), not enough to pay off Spyker's debts.

Swan has released few details about Spyker since it acquired the much larger Saab in 2010. Saab went bankrupt in December.

Much of Spyker's debt is held by Tenaci BV, controlled by Swan CEO Victor Muller and funded by Russian tycoon Vladimir Antonov.
