Description:

This very original car was the object of a complete professional restoration early in the decade by one
of the acknowledged Lotus 23 specialists in the US. Professionally maintained since, under the current
owner, who is a Nationally ranked Club Racer, it has been highly developed. It is unbeaten by another
Lotus 23 under his ownership. The handling is now examplary, with the car being lowered as much as
possible and the ride controlled by Konis and Eibachs. The all-steel twincam has only 3 races since a
complete rebuild and puts out 200 Hp. and in the owners words, "feels like it". This car has defeated
many supposedly faster sports racers including Brabham BT-8s and Elvas.
