The famous LeMans debacle is well documented. as two Lotus 23's were basically forced. by the French. into not racing. The team from France claimed the cars would have been 'too competitive'. The controversial decision caused quite a stir among racing circles.

This car was sold shortly after LeMans and driven by Bernard Consten and Jose Rosinski to a First Place finish at both the July. 15 1962 FIA Makes Auvergne Trophy Event. and The 1. 00 Kms of Montlihery held Oct 21. 1962.

It was subsequently sold to Ito Misuo of Japan. where it lay dormant in his private collection before coming to California in 1994. It has been part of a local. Seattle-area collection for the past 20+ years.
