1984 Lotus Excel for sale.......£2500 Jupiter Red

Post by dermotbell »

Due to moving I have to sell my Excel. She is advertised on ebay but would rather sell to a forum enthusiast (new or not).

As you can see she is the standard 160bhp version.

Only had this car for a couple of years (I had an Elite before) but in the time I've had it I believe I have sorted all the minor mechanical issues:

Recently fitted new pads and disks for the front wheels, and a new stub axle for the rear drivers side.

New front brake calipers, refurbished rear calipers and pads. Also a new brake servo (adopt Lotus position to fit).

New brake hoses.

The bodywork is in very good condition.

I have stripped out the interior to replace a broken interior heater fan; the one on the drivers side......a right pain to get at. This job is done and I have just put the interior back in. The interior is generally in good condition but a bit tired (especially on A pillar trim) and the rear section of headling has been removed (ie behind the roll bar). I have refurb'd an Elite headlining and it isn't a hugely difficult job, and the headlining can be obtained from Woolies nr Market Deeping for a few quid. All you have to do is use an adhesive to stick it on (also available from Woolies).

Car runs really well and I have a comprehensive set of docs for the car history.
Went for a drive, it goes very well, engine is smooth.

The door window frames need adjusting, this can be done by taking off the door car (couple of screws) and adjusting the 5 bolts that attach the window frame to the door beam. Or you can fit spacers to the bolts that hold the door to the car. To reflect this I will listen to offers.The drivers winfow goes up and down but is slowish at one point where the frame needs adjusting, same on passsenger side. I had the door card off a while ago and the door beams look good.

The timing belt was changed about 1500 miles ago.

Can't figure out pictures here so see tjhem on http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0965265945

Please give a good car a home....they're not just for xmas ;-)
