Martin: Your welcome and I have more photos of a restoration in progress if you need them. I enjoyed the race at Ruapuna particularly since there was such a wide diversity of cars entered. I took a

Hi Gary, Thanks for the photos and information. It is a great help. Would you believe that I was at the Ruapuna event (Southern Festival of Speed) three years ago as well. Thinking of heading down for

Mike, I'm sorry to say that I do not live in the bay area. I live in Orange County in Southern California. You are welcome to stop by any time you are in the neighborhood. Also, I try to attend the

Bill, Thanks for your input. I would think that if you regularly went to 8500 rpm, 18 hours would be prudent. Shifting at 7500 should be much easier on the engine. I'm going to go another year and we

Martin: Hello. Your 23 projects sounds like fun and I have a good idea what you are going through as I restored my 23B, frame up, five years ago. When I purchased the car, the owner gave me a set of

Hi Don, Thanks for the words of encouragement. Still a long way to go before it is drivable, certainly looking forward to that moment. From your comments it certainly looks like you have a 8000-9000

Martin, Thanks for your reply about the engine. I hope you get your replica done soon. You will love driving it. I believe my car to be an original chassis but there are many cars that I race against

Ted Wenz and Peter Marcovicci like to have the engine back after 18 hours of racing. They see problems coming if you run them longer, especially at 8500+ rpm. I am afraid to see how long it will last

Hi Don, Your car looks very nice. I am new to the list and would love to see photos of members cars. Unfortunately my income at the moment doesn't allow me to own a genuine Lotus 23, so I am currently

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2006 to you all. I would love to see pictures of all your cars. I am sure you all must have some pictures. It is easy to scan in an image and then put it on this Yahoo

When I bought my 23 (not a B) from Ed Brannon in 1997, the diagonal tube over the driver's legs had been removed. I was told this was a common modification for the reason explained by Gary. Indeed,

Hi, all! I've been looking at my older email again. This one reminded me that I have heard that the mentioned bar was often removed to make room for the knees of taller drivers. (Remember, the
