You are looking at the
sale of our Lotus Excel. It’s a last of the line excel made being one of the
last few built. It’s in a very rare colour combination of Gun Metal Grey
Metallic and biscuit leather with matching carpets and headlining.
This Excel was built
at the time of lotus being under Toyota ownership and used a large amount of Toyota
supra parts including the excellent 5 speed gearbox and electrical system, obviously
build quality and reliability in earlier lotus cars was questionable but with Toyotas
influence and parts supply these cars were made to a very high standard.
The Excel has
covered a very sensible 85,000 miles and has been very well maintained throughout
its life and has been cared for by Lotus specialists to a high standard. The
engine is lovely it pulls well and sounds great with excellent gearbox/clutch
and brakes. It’s been used very infrequently over the last few years and has
only been a summer/good weather toy. It’s been kept in a dry garage and really
could do with using more to get the most out of the lovely lotus engine.
High specification late
model
Power steering,
Central locking, ABS brakes, Electronic ignition, Electric windows and mirrors.
The all import
chassis outriggers are in excellent condition as is the rest of the chassis. its
recently been inspected and MOTed and the inspector who is a TVR man himself
commented on how good the car was underneath.
The bodywork is in very good condition for its age, it polishes up well and
gets admiring glances where ever it goes. It does have a couple of minor paint
chips and a small scuff which I have tried to picture. They are there but not
immediately obvious and you have to have a good close look around to find them.
The interior is again in excellent condition throughout. Good seats and
door cards with excellent dash and obviously very reliable Toyota dials and
switches. The carpets are a little faded but still look tidy, the headlining is
very good the boot is very tidy and the car is a very nice place to be inside.
The Excel has good tyres all round (Premium brand) and the wheels are the
very sought after 15” Genuine Lotus (Route OZ) including the spare all in great
condition. The exhaust is a recently fitted twin pipe stainless steel (Lifetime
system) which looks good and sounds great,
The windscreen has just been professionally replaced due to delamination
and after being in storage over the winter the carbs have been fully stripped
and serviced and the engine tuned.
Loads of history and much
money spent over the years.
15 Lotus main specialist agent service stamps in the service book up to
date.
It’s in recent years been maintained and looked after by (PNM Engineering) independent

I have the original Lotus hand book with service history section and a file
with Many old invoices and MOT`s. The Excel is fully HPI clear and has never
been damaged or repaired, I have a full HPI printout detailing this that will
come with the car.
As you can see from the list above the Lotus has had many Thousands of
pounds in maintenance over its lifetime so it’s been well looked after
To Sum up this Excel
is a good running usable car that must be one of the best available, it sounds great
and has plenty of power. It looks good and turns heads wherever it goes.
Reliable and good looking and priced sensibly, what more could you ask for.
Viewing of the Excel
is highly recommended and I would prefer it.
