Another one of those 'gradual design progression' cars, the Lotus Excel was largely based on the Lotus Eclat, which was based largely on the Lotus Elite II. But this is where that particular design chain came to an end.
The Lotus Excel was built between 1982 and 1992 as one of only a few cars on sale by the company while it was going through its difficult financial decade. At the time of production only the Esprit was really keeping the company afloat, with only these two cars being on sale until the construction of the Piazza, a joint venture with Isuzu. It wouldn't be until the return of the Elan in 1989 that the company would have developed another new Lotus.
The Excel, although not going down in history like the Esprit, has had some claim to fame with the Top Gear boys, with James May converting one into a Motorhome by simply placing an aircraft fuselage on its roof, and Richard Hammond turning one into a submarine for the James Bond 50th Anniversary special, creating a successful submersible car despite a few leaks here and there.
