#231 was a factory demonstrator. As such, I think it was this car that did a small press tour in Sweden after the Saab acquisition. Here is an example of a test drive. One of the picture shows this:
Showing that this one is #07/24. So I think #231 is 07/24: confirming your thoughts.Winning on sunday, selling on monday!

This Chinese LM85 was spotted in Shanghai, april 2013 Another LM85 is mentioned in this story to have been spotted in Beijing july 2012. I think we discussed this car on the forum before, with a sister car in orange with black accents if I'm not mistaken. I think both were supercharged by VF Engineering. Never knew these were actually LM85's but with the one amzamz found it makes three we didn't have before so I guess we must now have found all 15?Winning on sunday, selling on monday!

Yes, here are those special edition cars on the forum.
Didn't know the black one was titled as a LM85 and actually not entirely convinced it really was...
As I see it, the guy that posted those pictures just assumed it was a LM85 because of the livery but has no official confirmation. It hasn't been mentioned in the articles about these cars either. Add to that the fact that the number '15' that is often mentioned as the amount of LM85s built, I believe, stems from before this car was built/made a special edition. In other words: I think there is still one LM85 not accounted for.The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do
