As they say - how many Lotus’ are too many?
Answer:-
One more than you have now !!!!

I was the same way with Toyota Supras. I've had eleven total. I think I knew I was out of control when I had seven at one time, four running and three not. They used to be dirt cheap and plentiful and would just follow me home (usually attached to a dolly). That's when I decided to "diversify". I sold all but my first Supra, the one that started the madness, and added a Mustang and Corvette. Here in the States, running across another Excel is highly unlikely but I could be tempted by an Esprit. Does maintaining two Jaguars the last six years mean I'm a masochist? People here in Texas seem to think so. But some cars are like crisps, so delicious you cannot stop eating after just one.

I did have to stop to recount a couple of times. Monty Python used to be shown very late on Sunday nights on our local Public Broadcasting Station when I was a little kid. As I recall it was kind of scandalous for Dallas at the time. I had a little black and white TV with rabbit ears in my room and would watch age-inappropriate stuff whenever I could get away with it but rarely ever got to stay up late to watch it because of school Monday mornings. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I thoght Texas is Spain!!!!

Price seems optimistic for an Excel, even one this nice, but this could well be what you are looking for.

Thanks for posting, I have messaged the guy and am awaiting a response. Certainly what I am looking for, just a balance between price and how much recommissioning will be required
