    My trusty, but slightly crusty 1988 Lotus Excel SE is in need of some TLC:

    Stop water getting the interior (including the glovebox?!)
    Reseal the windscreen (see above!)
    Paint the front of the car, heavily chipped
    Fit the better (still standard) wheels I bought a couple of years ago

    I have owned the car for nearly 11 years now…do I sell and try something different?

    Sell and get the Esprit you wanted for the last 30 years. You know it makes sense!

    No pressure, bagsy first go.

    That does look tempting even the wheels, spoiler, door mirrors and trim are wrong for a 1988 X180, the changes have been well executed

    …even if the wheels, spoiler, door mirrors and trim are wrong for a 1988 X180, the changes have been well executed

    And the anorak award for November goes to….. Radar!

    Must create a new icon for that.

    I have a sinking feeling that I might win that award fairly regularly…

    I contented myself with a new gear lever knob for my poor old Excel in the end, a cheaper option!
