koen

Hey Koen, is this for track or road? Definitly a weapon with that power, thou quite a big engine for a 23, I thought the Audi 1.8T i am planning was big for this car.

I'm building a Martyni 23 ( have been for 10 years - alomost finished ) The company ceased trading 2 years ago and the whole project was sold to a chap in California but I have never been able to track him down. The original owner of the project wouldn'y tell me who he sold it to. Didi you buy your 23 in USa or was it shipped from the UK? I can send suspension photo's if required

the alloy v6 isnt that much heavier/ bigger than 1,8 T ( iron + aloy head)

@zeds27 any pics/experience welcome!

You know it's a bad day when the wheel's fallen off your race car and the trailer's been clamped

Nice looking car and thanks for the offer.
The Noble 23 is actually quite different to the Lotus 23 under the skin. Different suspension and chassis, different donor parts etc.. Mine is starting out to be fairly authentic except for the engine and tranny.

Patrick

You guys are looking at probably twice the weight (engine etc.) and even more then that for power then a 23, so I would think it will turn out rather different. Despite the displacement, your closer to a GT40...

Hello all, this is my first post on here
I'm building an "Auriga 23", Auriga bought the production rights from Noble, so effectively it's the same as a Noble 23

I'm in the UK and was having a search on the net and this thread popped up. Patrick, if you happen to read this, I'd love a copy of the brochure that you have, thank you in advance



OK, when I say "building", I bought this part built about 16 years ago, life has taken over and I've barely touched it. Though I also have a Sylva Striker, which is a 7 type car to keep me busy. My plan is to start on it next year, it's going to be a road car, which should be fun.
I'm a huge Lotus fan and want to make it a faithful reproduction, though within the limitation of the kit design
