Yes, it's a Lotus 23 and surprisingly fast. 100bhp and 900lb
The debut of the Lotus 23 was at the Nurburgring (14 miles and 176 turns per lap) in May, 1962. With Jim Clark at the wheel, the little 100-bhp Lotus shot away from the field which contained Porsches, Aston Martins and Ferraris, some with four times the horsepower of the Lotus. To everyone's amazement, after the first lap Clark was 27 seconds ahead of Dan Gurney in a Prototype Porsche and his lead became greater on each lap.
