Sketchy indeed is the right word:

Until we are informed that that Swedish Automobile is no longer willing to discuss the Spyker sale, we are still keen to progress our proposed acquisition.”
If Spyker is acquired by another entity, CPP will continue to offer its support in future engineering programmes, body and chassis production, and final trim and assembly of Spyker models. CPP has unique knowledge and experience of the current model line-up, and its purpose-built assembly facility in Coventry is ready to immediately 'switch on' production of the new flagship Spyker C8 Aileron supercar.
CPP recently announced plans to consolidate its operations at an all-new Browns Lane, Coventry engineering and production facility from 2014. Whether or not CPP concludes its acquisition of Spyker or remains the production and assembly partner for Spyker under different ownership, CPP’s Browns Lane redevelopment plans will be unaffected. The proposed new vehicle assembly facility – one of a number of CPP operations to be consolidated at the Browns Lane site from 2014 – will produce the fully-homologated road-going variant of the next generation all-terrain supercar, the Bowler EXR, and the recently-announced new Jensen Interceptor. CPP is also in advanced stages of discussions regarding further ultra-low volume vehicle engineering and production projects.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
