Nothing to do with me, but looks a very decent car for the money.

Re: 84 Excel
I went to view that last year before i bought my Eclat .
It’s had a knock on the the N/S/F .
If you look at the engine pic , you can see the crazing on the inner wing .
There’s a sizable crack between the headlight & rad support panel .
Also has quite a lot of knocking noise from the rear .
I’d say it’s a good daily runner & work on it as you go , but definitely not at the price he’s asking .
I got him down to £5.5k , but wasn’t comfortable paying that for it .
