Is that a special edition Gordon Lamb did? I vaguely remember seeing something blue and gold in Gordon Lamb's when I picked up a car (going back a few years now).

Looks like it...

one ref I can find is this:

"The Gordon Lamb limited edition GL53 had Blue AP Calipers"

looks like a dealer made up special, looks like it was bassed on an S2 111S

Yes, it's the Gordon Lamb car. Saab Blue with Gold 111S wheels, Stage 2 Exhaust and AP Brakes. They made 12 of them, so I am told.

think I would suggest treating it the same as any other 111S
