Fitz: are you allowed to sell it?
I would suggest we have to establish a council which decides whether one of the members may sell it or not. Any thoughts about it?
All the best!

Radar, The car is now with East Anglian Motor Auctions and will be up for sale on the 5th May Classic Auction.
Don - Its a shame in some ways, but i've had two years of enjoyment out of the car it has not cost me much money to keep going. Time has come for someone else to enjoy her!

Good luck with the sale. I was just pondering if buying your Excel might of been a better option than doing some more work on mine.

Looks like it has a sister car there. There's an Esprit in the same auction.

I used to live in Wymondham funnily enough, for nearly 6 years.
Lime Tree Avenue, Park Lane (more Silfield) and then Warwick Drive if you know the place. Still have friends and relatives in the area
Mine needs a bit of paint work, I need to stop it leaking and re-fit a decent headliner, but thanks for the nice comments!.
