Lotus 23 Climax

[tiga2]

... SLO '64. You would need large "appendages" to get the most from this! I belive it was a 2.0 or 2.5 Climax. Dose anybody know more about this car?

I don't know anything about it, but anytime the transaxle sticks out past the rear tires.... it's gotta be good - hehehehehe /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Mostly the 23s had the Lotus-Ford Twin-Cam. I have heard of 1.5 litre Climax engines in them, but not 2.5.
