After the reported winding down of the formerly Swedish car maker Saab by General Motors, Dutch car company Spyker have returned to the table showing further interest in the apparently doomed brand.
A spokesman for GM told the New York Times - “We continue to wind down Saab, but during that process we’ve received several expressions of interest," - he further explained that each offer was being evaluated as it arrived, but he would not be drawn into commenting further.
Spyker had an earlier bid turned down, but the Journal reports that Spyker has come up with an 11-point proposal which should meet each of GM’s objections to completing the purchase of Saab.
"We have made every effort to resolve the issues that were preventing the conclusion of this matter and we have asked GM and all other involved parties to seriously consider this offer," said Spykers' chief Victor Muller.
Since becoming mainly government owned post bankrupcy, GM has been downsizing. Sports car maker Koenigsegg Group AB had made a tentative deal to buy Saab from GM, but this deal fell through in November. GM also decided not to sell the Opel brand after talks failed.

GM has said that it will focus on Opel/Vauxhall and its four remaining U.S. brands: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC. The Saturn and Pontiac brands are closing, with Hummer being sold to a Chinese company.
