Lotus Excel. Any good? Your opinions?
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2016 2:32 pm
For many years, I have had a bit of a soft spot for the Excel, but to date, haven't really had anything to do with them. The nearest I have got was a mates Eclat, which was NOT a car that made me think "I must have one of those !" Quite the opposite in fact , but now I find myself looking Excels & thinking it may be time to dip a toe into the water & experience one for myself, so I'm looking for unbiased opinions as to what they are like to live with, how practical are they, & what to look for in a potential purchase. If I were to go for one, it would have to make a viable daily driver all year round, & as such I wouldn't necessarily be adverse to some mods/updating, so any recommendations in that area would be good, I'm thinking maybe fuel injection, for a start ? My annual mileage is not high high & we would still have Mrs O's modern, but when I need a car, I need one I can rely on to get me where I need to go in reasonable comfort.
So, what can you tell me ? has anyone on here got one, had one, or just knows anything about them that may help in my quest ?
Cheers, Tim
