Went to the Lincs Clublotus night last night, the oldest thatched pub in Lincs and an hours drive to get there, perfect.
One of the cars there was a freshly restored Green Excel, the owner bought it brand new but sold it a couple of years later and lost track of it. A more recent search turned it up in a barn under a sheet and was 50 shades of green apparently, but an 18 month restoration later it wasnt just the car that was green.
The run back home was stunning too with a great sunset, no pics tho, too busy enjoying the almost empty roads.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

by the way for you painter types, £8000 just for paint, but very very well done with hand painted gold pinstripe.

Looks like a good meet. It's looking at these sort of photos that makes me really want to get mine done! Your car's looking good too Bash!

In the second pic.... that woman in the pink t-shirt seems to be opening the door of her Subaru(?) with very little due care and attention to the car beside her!! At least we have rubber waist strips to minimise that sort of damage.

Re: off the leash car porn in Lincs
The green excel is subject of a two page article in this months club lotus magazine, the finish on the car in the flesh is the best Ive ever seen.
