Hi, I am now the proud owner of a 1989 Lotus Excel SE It’s in gold, and after extensive research, I cannot find any images or records of any other Excel SE in this colour. Has any one any idea how many were made in gold. I’ve tried Lotus, but they want £80 just to check.

Welcome to the forum! I've only ever seen one gold Excel, and that was in a photo. Have a look at this viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1910&p=13662&hilit ... 27s#p13662

The £80 is for a certificate of provenance. It'll tell you when the car came off the line and what options it had and any other interesting stuff they may hold about it.
