Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:
Isn't it ironic, as Alanis Morrissette might opine, that out of the ashes of some of Lotus's darkest days one of their best (and most overlooked) cars of the era would emerge, phoenix like. With a little help from the worlds largest car manufacturer, admittedly, but it is still more ironic than rain on your wedding day, for example. With this example originating from early 1987 it boasts all the sought after attributes of the upgraded SE model. Most importantly, these include the HC, high compression version of the 2.2-litre Lotus 912 engine with its differentiating red cam covers. Not too much is known of the Excels early life or previous owners other than the evidence of much being spent on the Lotus prior to its current ownership. Current owner, Steve, acquired the Excel via Bonhams Cars Online in March of 2023. At that time the Lotus was displaying 86,500 miles on its odometer. During his ownership Steve has added a mere 400 miles or so to that total with the digits standing at 86,911 on the day of our shoot. It is mainly this lack of use that is prompting the sale. With a little over 100 thought to remain on 2024s roads, that cracking twin-cam engine and fluid road dynamics, the Excel represents a highlight of the 1980s Lotus range.
