Customer details
 The owner of this Lotus Excel SE is a discerning customer who has a passion for owning outstanding examples of Lotus Cars.

Vehicle details This superb vehicle was recently purchased from New South Wales and was brought to Lotus Marques for a thorough inspection prior to being issued with a Road Worthy Certificate.
Before the vehicle could be issued with a certificate, a faulty window lift motor was replaced and an oil leak originating from the distributor was cured.
Other work carried out included, the adjustment/calibration of both Dellorto carburetors and the replacement of a faulty alternator voltage regulator.
