My last info on the Lloyd car was that it was in the SI under restoration....quite possibly this may be the car (no LH mirror, body protection mouldings, rear spoiler etc) . Looks very nice.


On the for sale sign it said about being an RPO with race history

Sorry, but the Lotus 23 with the scaffolding is a perfect example of safety versus purity. Real or replica?

The scaffolding has a purpose- it is giving the camera correct height and angle, would not be possible otherwise to see the track, gear changes, all instruments, driver wearing gloves...........

The scaffolding looks as if it might slow him down getting out of the car John.....

It can't be a replica, it doesn't look the right shape to be a 23B, and as for the roll bar it is a joke, it doesn't have to look like that to make it safe
