Just spotted this on ebay. I think this has to be an all time high asking price for an Excel

That’s been for sale for well over a year. Originally advertised as an Esprit Excel.

Re: 1989 Excel £30 000
The dealership selling it does mostly modern stuff (although there is a 911 and A-H 3000 listed too). My theory is that they took it in as a part-ex at some point, the salesman accidentally valued it as an Esprit rather than Excel and way over-paid for it. Now they are stuck with it and have to sell it at £30k to avoid accepting a massive loss, and they are praying that some buyer comes along who is as daft/ill-informed as their own salesman, and buys it for Esprit money. That strategy doesn't seem to be working out for them.
