My 1966 Bobsy SR3 sports racer is for sale. It just finished up a successful weekend at the 2022 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Lotus TwinCam, Hewland mk9 5-speed, twin Weber 45s, 1050#, 180hp. Truly ready to race. $64,000. See more at https://thingsthatgovroom.net/bobsy-for-sale/ Located in Sonoma, California. Thanks for looking
Looks beautiful and well prepared. I have seen at several west coast events and it appears to be at front of it's race group against the more common Lotus 23B cars. Do you have lap times at various tracks like Laguna, Willow Springs, Sonoma? The center consul is a bit different than most Bobsy's, was that part of SR3 upgrade?

According to a discussion I had with one of the original builders of this car, the center consul was added to the last couple of SR3s to stiffen up the tub. He added that this car was the last SR3 before Mong moved onto the full monocoque slab-sided SR4. A center section was later added to a couple of earlier SR2s and SR3s as it was found to be an effective upgrade.
During my ownership my best time at Sonoma was a 1:49 and at Laguna Seca a 1:40, competitive with the front running 23b's. Thanks for the query.
