This Dutch car will, of course, be familiar to those thousands of people who saw the film "Genevieve", it being selected as th opposition to the Darracq of that name. It has a four-cylinder, 2456 cc engine, and the price in England in 1904 was 460 pounds.

Lesneys (Y16-1) model of the Dutch built 1904 Spyker Tourer joined the range in 1969.

Variations & Rarities: The first colour scheme used was cream with gold trim to the radiator grille shell, headlight and sidelights although the trim to the radiator grille shell was later deleted.
It was recoloured to pale yellow and towards the end of it's life to a darker yellow.
A very rare issue that was painted maroon made an appearance which went on to become one of the most sought after issues in the range.
The wheels were brass plated and the early issues had a bolt pattern.
Knobbly grey plastic tyres were used on the first few runs which were soon replaced by knobbly black plastic and later still fine tread black plastic.
There were casting modifications to the steering wheel boss and the windscreen frame has three slightly different castings which were all in use throughout the models life.
The running boards were altered (see pics below) and two short runs were issued with baseplates intended for the giftware releases. This had the "Models of Yesteryear Y16' description removed from the base and these are quite rare.
Finally the early type gear lever which had a straight and curved lever was replaced by two straight gear levers.
