So as some may have seen i have been looking into parting with my Black Badge Excel SE. Which i have now decided to do so here is my add. I will say I am not in a rush to get rid of her but i thought i would put it up on here and Lotus Forum first then it will go on the other sites. Just to let you all know that the Private plate XAI8881 has been removed and the new plate is E570VOX.
So as you all know before i got my hands on her last year she spent 17 years sat in a garage untouched. Then i finally got my hands on her and that’s where the restoration came into play please see below to the link to my project page. The car now comes with a years MOT expires 31.10.2023.
