What was wrong with the engine?
I ask because I owned her for 10 years until about 4 years ago. I sold her to the son of the man who bought her new. I noticed he had her up for sale about a year ago. Why are you breaking it as it was a good tidy unmucked about with car and I thought he would have looked after it as he wasnt short of a bob or two. I imagine they are the new tyres I fitted just before selling her. The colour is Essex blue. The rad is a triple row core I fitted along with the ss exhaust and other bits over the years.

Engine was bad, its need a overhaul, there was a strange sound inside the engine
i think its the crankshaft (the bearings) so thats why i strip down the engine,
and now the owner wants to sell her, so i do my best because the car stands inside my garage,
next to all other lotus cars,

hopefully the car get a good new home (and gets not stipped) but his age is 1986 or 1987?
because this owner has 2 excels, and i dont know wich year the cars comes from..


car is still for sale,

The badges are only stuck to the front wings and boot lid with a silicone adhesive. Pull fishing line around the outside to cut them off. Underneath is a circle of vinyl which the silicone is stuck to. Peel that off ( using a hot air gun) and all traces of the badges will have gone.
