Restored nicely, but the wheels are not true to the original if I recall

Correct,should have the middle section body colour, not gold.

Looks very clean. Engine bay looks very tidy.

But to me it does actually look good in green with the gold middles - a bit Lotus F1 (oK not quite green and yellow..) - what do you think??

I quite like it with the gold wheels, but then I also quite like the plain silver wheels. It's being sold by a person local to me, he was in the car at the most recent meet.

Looks like the restorer wasnt too bothered about originality as the carpets and steering wheel arent as Celebration spec either. Nice car though and looks easy to get back to original spec
if desired. And i would definitely want too because Celebration is the spec to have IMHO.

It looks much better for not having the original steering wheel and road wheel spec. Silver OZs would have been my choice, though.

Well it sold! That's great news. Nice to see Excel values getting some love in the market place!

I've forgotten how much they were asking ! Was it a good price?

From memory it was £14,995.
