As they say - how many Lotus’ are too many?
Answer:-
One more than you have now !!!!
I was the same way with Toyota Supras. I've had eleven total. I think I knew I was out of control when I had seven at one time, four running and three not. They used to be dirt cheap and plentiful and would just follow me home (usually attached to a dolly). That's when I decided to "diversify". I sold all but my first Supra, the one that started the madness, and added a Mustang and Corvette. Here in the States, running across another Excel is highly unlikely but I could be tempted by an Esprit. Does maintaining two Jaguars the last six years mean I'm a masochist? People here in Texas seem to think so. :oops: But some cars are like crisps, so delicious you cannot stop eating after just one.

I did have to stop to recount a couple of times. :lol: Monty Python used to be shown very late on Sunday nights on our local Public Broadcasting Station when I was a little kid. As I recall it was kind of scandalous for Dallas at the time. I had a little black and white TV with rabbit ears in my room and would watch age-inappropriate stuff whenever I could get away with it but rarely ever got to stay up late to watch it because of school Monday mornings. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Price seems optimistic for an Excel, even one this nice, but this could well be what you are looking for.

Thanks for posting, I have messaged the guy and am awaiting a response. Certainly what I am looking for, just a balance between price and how much recommissioning will be required
Cheers
