Lotus Excel SE for sale
Current customer rating: (52 votes ) based onI have owned the car for just over 2 years during which time I have replaced the battery and front brake discs and had the starter motor rebuilt. The passenger door handle has been repaired with a longer, threaded insert and the link rods from it have been put in the correct places and adjusted so it should last for years. New, stainless steel under-axle exhaust pipes were fitted in preparation for the last MOT which it passed with no advisories. The previous owner had to recommission the car fitting new brake pads and rebuilding the calipers. Apart from the parts mentioned above, all I have done is some tidying. They are simple cars to work on so I have been able to do the work myself. Air conditioning is fitted but has never worked while I or the previous owner had it. I am taking the car to an A/C specialist to find out what would be involved in fixing it.
Good points:-
Blue leather interior
Headlining not drooping unlike may cars of this age
Bodywork in good condition
Engine starts easily and performs well.
Car is very original
Wheels have not been scuffed.
Original jack and driver's handbook.
There is a lot of paper work from the 90's and last 3 years.
Many old MOT certificates available allowing the mileage to be validated.
The car will have a new cam belt before collection.
Bad points:-
There is some lacquer lift on the roof, a few stress cracks and stone chips.
The rev limiter caused a misfire when the engine is cold so it is disconnected.
There is some windscreen delamination (see photo) but this has not deteriorated during my ownership.
Fan speed 1 and 2 don't work. It needs a new resistor pack.
The mileage is currently just under 64,000 but this will increase during the auction as I use the car.
Any inspection is welcome. Don't forget, any sale is final.
Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
