Looks like a lotus 23 in left hand drive. But that is probably too easy - replica?

Actually, thinking about it, it may actually be the same car except I have it with a different name.
I'm going to lock it for you to check out and see if you can give me the name I am expecting.

Thanks for your patience, but this one has no connection to Martini.

It's the one-off Glas RS (not to mistaken with the Martini Glas RS we had before)
from 1965 piloted by Dieter Schmidt (*1936, †1984).

First it was equipped with a tuned 80HP Glas 1000 engine which was later replaced
by a more powerful 105HP Glas 1300cc motor. Gearbox was taken from a BMW 700.
Weight was only 480kg and the little car was able to run up to 220 km/h.
Back then it was ahead of most Abarth competitors.

Obviousely the car still exists though I haven't found any pic of its current state.

Yes, that is indeed the car.
I'm surprised it's not better known, and I thought perhaps BMW inherited it and changed its name when they took over Glas, but it seems not.

Here's a picture of it on track:

P.S. I think I gave you your point?!
