Re: The last of the pre-production Excels for sale on facebook
Blind shots on the MOT checker web sites and BVF262Y is also an Excel - White registered between the 2nd and 5th pre production. Most likely another of the 5.

Re: The last of the pre-production Excels for sale on facebook
Tony - do you have this one on the register? Nope - new entry at number 3 👍 How do you know it's a pre production - just the reg date? Any idea of VIN etc? Tony VIN I messaged the seller and he gave it to me - 1148 When I saw reg BVF 267 Y is very close to the prototype BVF 261Y it made me curious.

Re: boot lid catch has failed
Try pushing down on the boot lid while trying to turn the lock - takes a little load off the release mechanism.

Re: Club polo shirts, fleeces etc.
Looks good.
Would it make any difference to size if the “ www” was dropped as not really needed these days and the lotusexcel.net was in lower case?

Re: Elite 50th Anniversary - Lancaster Insurance support
It would be nice to have some of those flag type banners to help identify our stands at the NEC and other shows where there is a group attending.
They may want their name on there as well, just depends how large they would want their logo.

All Excels had electronic ignition as standard.
It’s a Lucas constant energy system with an AB14 module mounted on the right inner wing. It was fitted to other cars eg Jags.
Note the coil is also specific to this system.
