Lotus Excel SE 2.2 Celebration Limited Edition 1991

[lotusforsale.com]

Calypso Red with gold tan leather interior.

This car is serial number 3106, and was the final Celebration off the production line.  Your chance to own a bit of Lotus history.
 
We bought the car in 1999 from a friend who had owned it since 1996. 

We are selling because we rarely use it nowadays (the children who used to fit neatly in the +2 seats are now adult) and sadly we now need the garage space for storage far more than we need a Lotus.

We have service history (all invoices and MOTs) from 1996 onwards from Haydon Daytune and Lotus specialists GST Performance. 

It has an MOT until end January 2014 and is taxed until end December 2013.

The car has 100,895 miles on the clock, but has done only 20,000 miles since a full engine rebuild in 2001. The engine was completely rebuilt with loving care by Gerald Turner of GST Performance in 2001 at a cost of £5,500. Full invoice available. The engine runs very sweetly.

It’s been garaged and hardly used for the past 2.5 years except to go for MOT/service. We start it once a month to turn over the engine.

The engine, electrics, gearbox, brakes etc are all in very good condition as far as I can tell.
 
However, the exterior paint needs refurbishment (the protective sealant is peeling off in places, especially the roof and rear bumper). Also the interior headlining needs replacing, as does the interior carpeting which suffered from water leakage damage several years ago when it had to be exiled from the garage for 18 months – some of the carpeting has already been removed and we simply have mats (Lotus ones though!) in the front footwells. 


Other details:
—————–

4 Toyo correct-size tyres all with nearly full tread: 2 with only 850 miles on them. New battery 18 months ago (kept on trickle charger).

I’ll be happy to answer any questions about it to the best of my ability
