Summary
This 1987 Lotus Excel is a right-hand-drive example imported from England and Spain, finished in Lotus Racing Green over gray cloth. It is powered by a carbureted 2.2-liter inline-four with a five-speed manual transmission, and features 15″ Speedline wheels, pop-up headlights, and a Sony cassette stereo. Recent service includes a timing belt replacement, but the five-digit odometer is intermittent and true mileage is unknown, resulting in a Not Actual Mileage title.
