Considered by racing enthusiasts worldwide to be one of the most engaging and competitive race cars ever developed, the Lotus 23 continues its racing success frequently dominating contemporary vintage events. Competing against larger and more powerful cars, the lightweight design, low profile, and robustly tuned engine taunted Jaguars and Ferraris at races all over the world. At the 1962 Nürburgring 1000km Jim Clark piloted his 23 to lead Dan Gurney’s Porsche 718 GTR at the end of lap 1 by an epic 27 seconds. Ultimately Clark was forced to retire from the lead after lap 11 due to a leaking exhaust manifold. Today the Lotus 23B continues to achieve wins decade after decade with consistency and passion from multi-generational competitors. The enduring Lotus legacy of timeless lightweight design, mid-engine power and efficiency assures not only their place in racing history, but as a highly desirable vintage race car that provides its owner entry in the most prestigious events throughout the world.
