Sorry, was just kidding.
We actually know very few VINs of the LM85's. But then, I'm not sure how many have been produced. There was one at Goodwood this year too, right?
Come to think of it, why does Broughtons not have one yet? It would be the ultimate magnet for getting new clients into the showroom??

Hmmm
Too bad I wasn't in Rotterdam at Maarten Memorial this year. Then I could have take a shot of the #VIN myself...
Ohwell... I guess this LM85 will come on Dutch license plates, because he already has dealerplates... I wonder were he is for sale... I guess at Spyker, because Hans van Rennes was driving the LM85 at Maarten Memorial

I checked all known LM85 VIN's but it's not one of those either. So it's probably a new, recently vinished one...
My guess would be #234
So, as we know most of the VIN, including a "2" as the check digit, we can do a calculation to see which numbers would be possible. If we limit the range to #140 and #260, we can limit our search to these cars: #147, #150, #164, #178, #181, #195, #200, #214, #228, #231, #245, #259. (Don't ask for details how I did this ). All these cars will, IF they are LM85s, have a "2" as the check digit ...
When you compare these numbers to the VIN lists on this forum, the following numbers would still be possible: #147, #178, #195, #231, #245, #259.
Doesn't help a lot, does it??

Well, the point is that I did similar "research" regarding the VINs of Ferraris. This resulted in one of my webpages:
Red Headed - VIN
If you scroll down to the "9th digit", you will see the mathematics used to calculate the 9th digit.

091 - XL9GB11H26Z363091 - C8 Spyder
So it seems there was only a very small batch of C8 Spyders with this combination. All of these went to the U.S.Winning on sunday, selling on monday!

Ga11a
I found the following VIN numbers with the GA11A combination:
007 - XL9GA11A35Z363007 - C8 Spyder
010 - XL9GA11A35Z363010 - C8 Spyder
024 - XL9GA11A35Z363024 - C8 Spyder
031 - XL9GA11A05Z363031 - C8 Spyder
032 - XL9GA11A25Z363032 - C8 Spyder
033 - XL9GA11A45Z363033 - C8 Spyder
035 - XL9GA11A85Z363035 - C8 Spyder
037 - XL9GA11A15Z363037 - C8 Spyder
I think these were all initially fitted with a CPP chassis and bodywork.
On a sidenote:
008 - XL9GA14F52Z363008 - C8 Double 12 (The very first Double 12S, this was used to homologate the Double 12R. This Double 12 has the BMW based race engine with 600+ Horse Power)Winning on sunday, selling on monday!

Gb11a
I found the following VIN numbers with the GB11A combination:
070 - XL9GB11A16Z363070 - C8 Spyder
This is the only Spyker I found with the GB11A chassis combination, but I don't have all full Spyker VIN numbers so there might be more. This one has the CPP bodywork and probably the chassis was also made by CPP.Last edited by Laviolette GT2R; 08-08-2009, 20:18.Winning on sunday, selling on monday!

Gb11g
I found the following VIN numbers with the GB11G combination:
057 - XL9GB11G36Z363057 - C8 Spyder
In my opinion the 8th digit being a "G" means that this Spyker has the Karmann bodywork and chassis.
So some Spykers of the GB series have CPP and some Karmann bodywork and chassis and there is possibly a third manufacturer because some of the Spykers of the GB serie have an "H" as 8th digit...
On a sidenote:
060 - XL9GB12L96Z363060 - C8 Laviolette (This was the first Basic Instinct II Limited Edition Laviolette) The VIN is very interesting: all GB combinations I found are C8 Spyders, except this one... All 12 combinations I found are LWB models, so either Double 12's or Ailerons, except for this one... And I never found a VIN with an "L" as 8th digit, except for this one...Winning on sunday, selling on monday!
