Description:

We just have preliminary information at this time. This is one of three BT-23Bs constructed with Climax
FPFs for the Intercontinental/Tasman series, however this car was used for hillclimbing in the UK.
The chassis is complete and in good condition if not, in fact, restored. Much of the original alloy
panels and tankage are with the car. The steering system is complete, The corners are mostly there
but mostly unrestored. One front wishbone is new and all four original cast magnesium uprights are
with the car. A restorable body and wheels are also with the car as is much running gear. There is
no engine or gearbox.
