Apparently Tiger is intending to launch it's lotus 23 copy at stoneleigh this year. if it is anything like the piccy below it could prove very interesting!




I'm guessing that this is Jim's 'special project' which interupted development of the new Avon bodywork last summer ?

I remember that some one did a car called a SUTOL a few millenuims back. It was a 23 replica but strangely google turned up only one link for one with no pix. Any other old relic remember this failed manufacturer.

Don't remember a SUTOL. This company do a monocoque 23 replica - looks good.
I really like Lotus 23s - my favorite car

Xanthos also do Lotus 23 replicas.

I bet the door will be easy to fit on the Tiger version!

I think this was taken on as a special commision so (hopefully) the quality should be pretty good.....

It apparently uses a lot of the basic chassis etc from the ERA single seat racer (dunno quite how that works out?)

You're absolutely right - and somebody raced one up here. A bloke by the name of Ed Chester raced a Sutol 23B at Knockhill and Ingliston - his was white.
