Re: EXCEL CELEBRATION for sale soon

This was a 1 owner Celebration for sale at Paul Matty Sportscars. It had covered 12k Miles.

EDIT: Reading the Facebook ad it was clearly a 1 Previous Owner.

Re: How do you buy an Excel?

Is it the Celebration on Car & Classic in Kings Langley that messed you around? If so, owner tried to sell it on Ebay in Sept 2022, but it didn't reach his reserve, so didn't sell.
Was this the car requiring cosmetics to the offside B Pillar?

Re: Ignition module maybe

Have you checked the AB14 to distributor pick-up wire? It has a rubber-insulated two-pin plug located under the airbox usually unsupported. The copper strands of the wire work harden and break. Disconnect the plug and push/pull the bullets out and inspect, a fairly common fault. Hope this fixes your...

Re: No Spark Gremlins
