Lola - A reg LC excel

Post by fueltheburn »

This is an early pre-emptive post. To gauge interest before I return to the UK in February.
I would prefer to limit the circulation of this vehicle to here first to make sure it goes to an enthusiast.
As most of you probably know I haven't had Lola particularly long and spent quite a bit of time preparing her for the MOT about 3 months ago.

I am on long term deployment to the Middle East so Lola has sat languishing in a workshop for the last few months.
I have other plans which are developing and Lola doesn't fit into those in the long term.

Just a few things of note... will add more later as I remember
Leather interior
Lola had an engine re-build a few years ago, with less than 10k on the rebuilt engine.
New radiator and clutch at the same time as the engine rebuild
Aluminium expansion tank
She is running with Evans waterless coolant
New distributor
New battery
K&N filter 2000 miles / 4 months ago
NGK BPR6EIX iridium spark plugs 2000 miles / 4 months ago
Castrol edge 10/60 Changed 2000 miles / 4 months ago
Brake fluid changed 2000 miles / 4 months ago
Both radiator fans work
Interior fan works
Both window frames are in excellent condition as they were replaced a while back (when good window frames were still available)
Aftermarket exhaust system built by a man in Elgin
Stainless steel seat belt anchors
Carburettors were re-tuned and balanced at GST in November

She drives very well and has been a joy to drive up and down the country covering just under 2000 miles in a few weeks during my ownership.

Comes with a spare alternator, spare starter motor and spare distributor

There are a few jobs that require finishing:
PAS rack is leaking, requires a new rack.
Tappets need adjusting
Cam covers need re-sealing

MOT until November 2014
Tax until April 2014

Drop me a PM for further info.
Cheers
Kieran
