Equipment
RHD. Black wobbly wheels. 2 liter BMW engine with dual 45DCOE Webers, Peterson dry sump, Hewland transaxle. Apparently (as evidenced by the Lotus ID tag) one of three 23Bs built with the BMW engine. Carries original bodywork with FIA required spare wheel and tire storage. Formerly owned by Bob Sutherland. Freshly restored in 2011 for Olav Glasius, run at last years Goodwood Revival but otherwise hardly used at all and in like new condition. Olav Glasius Collection.
Market commentary
Offered by Christies at Pebble Beach in 2000 where it no saled at $48,000, then sold by Bonhams at Quail a year later for $46,000 in tired, used, parlous condition with bodywork by Bondo, this result is what a comprehensive, professional can do. The price it brought is probably less than what the seller had in it
