1986 Lotus Excel SE - 57k Miles - Superb For Sale

1986 Lotus Excel SE with 57100 miles and 3 previous owners from new. The current owner, who we are selling the car for, has refurbished the car from front to back with no expense spared. Literally 1000s have been spent. The car has seen very little use since the work has been done and comes with a current MOT till May 2019.

Body - Very clean and tidy with no cracks or nasty marks. The car was fully stripped and repainted including under the bonnet, door shuts etc. The paintwork is lovely and this car would sit happily alongside the best of them.

Interior - Very clean and tidy. The dash binnacle centre console have all been retrimmed.

Mechanicals - Car runs and drives very well and is very tight. The following new parts were fitted:
Gaz adjustable suspension
Calipers
Discs n Pads
Braided Hoses
Diff seals
Stainless Caliper Bolts
Rear End Bushes
Stainless Exhaust
Brake Pipes
Steering rack
Toyo proxy tyres
Track rod ends
Ball Joints Upper and Lower
Anti Roll Bar Bushes
Double Cooling Fans
Water Pump
Timing Belt
Plugs
Windscreen
In addition the Upper and Lower wishbones, Wheels, Rocker Covers and Front arms have all been powder coated. The radio and speaker system have been upgraded and the carbs refurbed. We appreciate there are cheaper examples on the market but to get them to this standard would cost more than what we are asking for this car.
