Re: Australian Lotus 23 # 23 S 23
A guy here bought a 23 in the last few years (forgot his name), which had a Saab 3 banger, and converted it to a FF crossflow, (I believe), and it runs in the Historics up here, in Portland, in July.

Gary and all, I too am one of those 220 pound guys and when I got my 23 I was - I admit it - up to 250. I went on a diet, inspired by my car! Now all of us who are the size of Gary and I can envy

Re: New Member.
All:- I agree with Gary in all respect. I'll just add that the 23c (and six is, we believe, the correct number produced) used the six-bolt wobbly-webs front and rear. And I agree - it was and is ugly.

Re: New Member.
Jeff: Good luck with your search for a 23. One of our club members (CSRG) recently sold his McLaren CanAm car and is also looking for a 23. There are several 23Bs in our club and rarely change hands.
