These are not mine, but if I was the owner in Sandy, Utah I would not be selling them.

 

Looks like they are all from the http://www.utahlotusmuseum.com/ collection.

He also has a real 23B and 23C for sale. If I could afford it...

 

The Xanthos replicas with their big windscreens just doesn't do it for me.

That is the link for the 23B and 23C for sale?

 

I love the powerplant of the 23C. I bet is just flys.

Some weird stuff in the engine compartment of the Elan.

Just look for the Cars For Sale link on the left of their home page. A mere $75 will get you one, the other is only $65k. Interestingly, the description says the car was originally built with 6 motorcycle engines. I'd like to have seen that configuration.

I found the Lotus 23s on the Utah Lotus Museum website which appears to be the same as the links in the Post 1. Lots of interesting cars for sale there.

I just spotted that their website was last updated in 2002 so maybe the cars in Post 1 are the only ones left.

Yup - I think that's right. The Elite recently sold and the genuine 23B and 23C have long since gone on to new homes.

 

The Rotorvic 23B appears to be back in England where the new owner is replacing the twincam with a period-correct replica of the motor that car used to run back in the day: six Ariel Arrow motors strung together into that wacky 1.5 liter V-12.

 

Should make for a splendidly hellacious racket when it's completed. http://www.usa7s.com/vb/images/icons/icon14.gif
