Roadster Chassis Num: 23-S-62   Purchased new by Marc Webster of Webster Gear Manufacturing and campaigned with drivers Ed Leslie, Tony Settember and Chuck Parsons. M. Webster had a 4-valve, twin cam cylinder head developed based on the Indy Ford V8 and one engine was built. This engine is on display here. The car was sold to Tony Settember and he and Chuck Parsons raced the car in USRRC from 1964 through 1966. The frame was replaced in 1965 with a Webster modified frame with extra outriggers and strengthening. The car continued to race on the West Coast and eventually vintage raced. Mike Stott, the current owner, purchased the car in 2001 and actively races the Webster Lotus 23 in GRL and SVRA events.
