Re: Gps speedo
For a 6 month period my speedo stopped working (needed a new cable). I already had a Garmin Head Up Display in the car, so just used that - linked to my phone. Worked fine. Unfortunately, no longer produced or supported, so I have to use an old android phone as I cannot migrate the app to my current...

Re: Looking for a late SE
I would suggest not getting too fixated on low mileage as these cars need to be used regularly - and they are now all over 30 years old. For regular use, this is where the MOT checker comes in - use it to see that it hasn't been sitting around for the past few years. Also important is who has been m...

Re: Google Maps Spot
I don't think that it is this one from just up the road in Welwyn Garden City either - as I don't think it is back on the road yet.

Re: Paint Code
Here's a list that does include A65. It should download a PDF from lotustalk https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=6a4c3ee5f12da72aJmltdHM9MTcwMTMwMjQwMCZpZ3VpZD0wZGFiNTY3ZC1mMzhiLTZjOGEtMjA4My00NTZiZjJmMzZkN2QmaW5zaWQ9NTIyMQ&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=3&fclid=0dab567d-f38b-6c8a-2083-456bf2f36d7d&psq=lotus+paint+code...

Re: SGT - Station Garage Taplow
Have you contacted SGT?
When I contracted the garage that sold my Esprit to its previous owner (in 1985), they were only too happy to talk to me about it. Offered me new number plates and some current stickers for free.

Re: Value your Excel if you dare!
Blimey - if someone offered me £75k for my Esprit they can have it.

Re: 215 Tyres
I have Vredestein Sportrac 205/55 15s on my Excel - and although Vredestein show them on their website, I'm not sure that you can get them in the UK any more.

Re: I have bought an 89 Excel SA site unseen
I'd probably swap my SE for an SA as it would give my wife, with only an auto licence, a Lotus to drive

Re: Potential Buyer Looking for Advice Please
Hadn't seen this thread before, but I bought the Excel from Sovereign Car Sales. I had kept my eye on it for quite a while and watched the price drop. They had no clue about Lotus cars, was advertised as an Eclat - as that was what was on the V5, so the car never came up in any searches for Excel. I...
