The Register-Form is non-functional at the moment!!!
For the time being, you can send me your entries by e-mail, and I will add them to the register.

THANKS

I have searched the net for a very long time for an Excel register, but never have found one, although there are registers for a lot of other cars. Therefore I have decided to set up this page to meet other fellow Excel owners. Please kindly add your car or the car of your friends to the list, in order to have the best possible record. Thank You! J.B.

Great reliable car, 180bhp could be little faster, like Elise or Esprit

Hallo, I have a Lotus excel Se hc build 1987 rhd. bought from Lotusspecialist.nl Van Sten Engeneering. The car was imported 1995 and The garage owner drove it daily.
I bought the car in april and went direct with it to England with the Lotus club Holland.

I owned a Lotus Elite for 8 years lhd. Had it for restoration, but did not have time enough so i traded it in for the excel.

My excel has 180bhp.
I saw on your site that there was someone with 210 bhp excel. Do you know how improve the horsepower.

I saw some flowed heads for the excel maybe the will give it a bit of a push.
I asked the dealer but he advised not to use turbo although it is possible, but you have to change the pistons as well . it will cost a lot. The car is running great now has done 124.000 miles, motor has had a big overhaul at 90.000. Brakes are from a Esprit (almost new).
The drivers seat is a bit black, I tried to clean it but is difficult to clean. The dashboard has been to much in the sun so I have to replace some parts of it.

But I love to drive the car.

I also own a Westfield with a quick crossflow motor. That one is nice to drive in summer.
Maybe I will trade it in for a Dax-kit with Hayabusa engine. 0to 60miles in 3 seconds.
The National Champion of 2001 Kitcar races took me for a Ride at Donnington last summer.
That was a great experience. I did not know one could drive as fast as he did.

Regards
Jan Wessing

Comments: I am in the process of restoring the car as it's one and only previous owner had left it outside for over 12 months. The car had a few inches of water inside so it's going to be a slow and patient restoration. It has also suffered from the weather as the laquer coat has started to peel/crack/dis-colour in places although the gelcoat underneath is fine, not sure how I am going to remove the poor laquer without affecting the gelcoat.

Comments:  Bought the car in 1993 to replace the silver excel I terminally damaged after arguing with a telegraph pole! I occassionaly get the urge to replace it with a more modern car (looked at a Merc SL320, SLK 320, Jag XK8) but then when I go out, it still turns heads. It still looks great after all these years.

Here is my Pride and Joy: My '88 Excel SE. I have searched for a very long time on the net for an Excel register, but never have found one, although there is an Elite/Eclat-Register and registers for a lot of other cars. Therefore I have decided to set up this page to meet other fellow Excel owners. Please kindly add your car or the car of your friends to the list, in order to have the best possible record. Thank You!
