2 years after starting my project Excel, building a high spec engine for supercharging, a 6 speed conversion, sourcing parts to build a Truetrac diff etc, etc, etc.....
....I'm now moving abroad for long periods at a time and will no longer have any garage/barn space to store it!
It has the most stunning interior, as it was retrimmed by a Rolls Royce specialist at a cost of over £6000! It's two tone grey, grey and very light grey that is nearly white. A mix of leather and alcantara(synthetic suede).I have the bills. They're scary!
It smells brand new.
It's done in the style of a Ferrari 308, so the panels and lines are straighter than the Lotus approach of louch comfy sofa with tweed and velour.
I fitted a 60's style racing steering wheel. All the gauges are still there, but I took them out to change the back panels as they were carbon fibre look which I wasn't crazy about. I think it needs a quilted black leather panel with Italian style gauges.
I got to the point of fitting an AJP V8 with T5 box and short tail housing. It's lighter than the Lotus 4 pot and puts out over 400bhp depending on tune. It's a flat plane crank engine so sounds more Italian V8 than worbling yank.
The engine needs later spec internals but when done it's mighty powerful. It can be included.
There's a photo showing the car on its alloys before I took it off the road, I don't have the wheels anymore, just standard rims.
It comes with a Carcoon to keep the interior perfect.
Also includes the standard box with a £1200 rebuild bill.
You could just go with a standard Lotus engine and fit another diff, everything else is there.
You can email me to discuss further. I would like someone to take it on and do it justice. My big loss. It's been a bit sudden, but I have to make this hard choice.
