When you think of a Lotus you'd be forgiven for not recalling the Excel. In 1982 an evolution of the Eclat, the Lotus Excel (a.k.a. Eclat Excel) was introduced and praised by the contemporary motoring press for its strong performance and superlative handling, as you'd expect of a Lotus. The newcomer utilised a galvanised version of Lotus's iconic 'backbone' chassis equipped with all-round coil-over independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and high-geared rack and pinion steering. It is ably powered by Lotus's own 2174cc DOHC four-cylinder engine. With 76,500 recorded miles and current ownership since 2009, this could be a rewarding project. At first glance this Eclat Excel appears to be complete, although a collection of spares are offered alongside parts taken off the car such as some of the interior panels. The interior specification of Cream velour and leather suits the Black body and provides for a striking combination. It is nice to see characteristics such as the period front and rear Lotus independent specialist number plates and a Club Lotus window sticker. The engine bay appears to be complete, however, as with the rest of the car, it would require recommissioning and restoration. This Eclat Excel is said to have last been on the road in 2018 and offered with a history file and V5C.
