No Reserve: Lotus 23B

This distinctive classic racing car is a Lotus 23B, manufactured in the UK during its peak years of production from 1963 to 1967. The vehicle showcases Lotuses signature lightweight design, with a body crafted from fiberglass and an overall weight of less than 1000 lbs. Powered by a mid-engine, inline-four Coventry Climax FWE engine that generates approximately 153 horsepower, the Lotus 23B delivers exceptional performance on the track. Its unique features include a rigid spaceframe chassis, independent suspension with coil-over shocks at all corners, and robust four-wheel disc brakes for superior stopping power. This particular model, designated as 'B', boasts a more refined design than its predecessor, the Lotus 23, with an elongated rear-deck lid and revised body work for improved aerodynamics. The offered vehicle falls within the later years of production, placing it in excellent company among other high-performance racing machines from this era.
