Blue Excel D939OHR in Penarth

Post by barker_001 »

Pacific Blue Excel leaving Penarth today about 2pm. There don't appear to be many older Excels in this colour, I have a feeling this is a local car that I've seen before with a private reg, perhaps it has changed hands?

That's an interesting observation about Pacific Blue cars. I've often thought the same.

My first Excel, bought in 1985 at 3 years old (the car, not me) was Calypso Red. My drive home from work often took me past Caterham in Surrey, where there was a tiny Bell & Colvill office & showroom with room for only one car. And for quite a few months, that one car was a Pacific Blue Excel. I only ever saw the place after-hours, and would often park-up right outside and admire that car.

I found it quite therapeutic, and ever since, seeing a Pacific Blue Excel always recalls that memory. But they do seem few & far between nowadays. Could it be that just not many were sold?
