Hello,

I am residing in Argentina and I am interested in building my own Lotus 23 replica. I am looking for plans / specs on that car. I was wondering any of you could help me or possible provide a contact as to how I could go about getting that information.

Thank you in advance for any info you can send,

Regards,

JTG
 
Hello There!
Let me be the first to welcome you to this fine forum. I can't be of help with your request, but am certain that members here will assist as they are able. Again welcome and would encourage you to post often.
 
Thank you Dale and "WhatsThatNoise"!

Hope to find someone with design palns and such, not that easy to inport here, but whatever info I get get via the interest would be great!

Thank you again for the quick replies, hope I get more soon.

Regards,

Jared.
 
Check out Arch Motors, they are the current chassis builder for Caterham & they build 23 frames.
 
Thanks guys! I have sent an email to Arch Motors and posted in glcforum.
Let's see what comes back... cheers!
 
I think I remember some user manuals for different type of cars, I can't remember the publishing name, but they were very detailed, I think that they could be bought in Halfords or Quickfit ir something like that. Would there be one for the Lotus 23 maybe?

The 23 was a VERY small production track car. No third party would do a user manual for such a very limited, specialised market.
 
Anyone else suggest anything else? Or have I hit a dead end already?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
 
I'm surprised you've heard nothing from Arch. Maybe another e-mail?

I have heard that Arch no longer make the Caterhams chassis and I doubt they would give you plans for a 23 anyway /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonod.gif
Here is another company who makes the 23.

Hi Jared,

I work for Mamba Motorsport, if you are still looking for a Lotus 23 replica (or parts) then we would be interested in talking to you. Our C23 is not an exact replica of a Lotus 23 though - it uses a wider body on a Lee Noble designed spaceframe chassis. We've totally updated the website since the link was posted so you might get a better idea of what we make now, our contact details are on the website too.
