Market commentary
There were several quixotic quests to complete John Moir, Jr.s A Z collection, like X, so it was serendipitous when this Lotus 23B replica was announced in 1997. Named for the King of Thebes (or one of Achilles horses, Xanthus, take your choice) it not only filled out the slot in the collection but has been set up for driving on rural New Hampshire roads, road licensed (NH Town Clerks are very accommodating to collectors willing to pay the local taxes) and frequently used by the Moir family. With its 150hp Lotus Ford twin cam and weighing next to nothing it should be particularly fun to own and drive, especially at this price.
