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

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
