The Lotus Grand Tourers

Hi All

Just seen a Excel SA on FB for 30K.

Lots of concerns pop up, so beware. Fortunately it is priced out of range so will not pose an issue to most.

It is a B Reg first registered 1985. Note the SA was introduced as a MY87 car late 1986, so is 2 years early. It's not a de lorean so I dont think it's hit 86mph!

It has late wheels, spoiler and door mirrors so would indicate a post MY90 model. These are all transferable items so not impossible to transplant.

Cloned?

That is a strange one.
Last change if owner early this year.
Change of colour from black to grey in 2010
Registration number comes back as an early 1985 Eclat Excel. So as you say, everything about that car is wrong for 1985, except the reg number!!! All says post 90MY even the door cards have the pocket.

Just messaged him and called him out. Can't see advert now.

Ad is visible again on the link.
Definitely something wrong. Everything in the pictures says that is a laye car. Like to see under the bonnet.
