whilst on the 576 Royal Shrewsbury Hospital(where i took this on 18/2/99) to Oswestry i was in charge of ex Williamsons Optare Exel now 1109, i alway enjoyed driving this and also the Excel of Boultons, the only problem you encountered was the long front over hang which could catch you out on bends and pavements.
A very beaten up and knocked about Excel. I wonder what happened to it for it to be in such a state?

As previously mentioned all the Optare Excels within First are now with Manchester at Wigan depot, not bad considering the Manchester fleet never took them new!
The ones aquired from Timeline Travel were soon joined by the former Leicester examples and four from London that PMT had been operating. This one is from the latter fleet and is seen heading into Leigh from Wigan on the 658 service.
A shot of this bus in its PMT days can be found here.

The Type 89 Lotus Excel, built from 1982 to 1992, is a front-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car designed and built by Lotus. It was based on the design of the earlier Lotus Eclat, which itself was based on the earlier Lotus Elite II.
Toyota engaged Lotus to assist with engineering work on the Supra. During this period, Toyota became a major shareholder in Lotus, later giving up their holding when General Motors bought Lotus.
Part of the deal between Lotus and Toyota included the use of many Toyota mechanical components in Lotus' cars. The original Excel (aka the Éclat Excel) used the W58 manual transmission, driveshafts, rear differential, 14x7 in alloy wheels, and door handles from the Supra Mk II, which was made from 1982 to 1986. The engine was the familiar all-aluminium, DOHC 2.2 L Lotus 912 Slant Four (which was used in the Lotus Esprit S3). During its lifetime, the Excel received two major upgrades with the introduction of the Excel SE (a 180 bhp/134 kW engine vs the standard 160 bhp/119 kW engined car) in 1985 and the Excel SA with automatic gearbox in 1986. Further facelifts in 1989 saw Citroen-derived mirrors, as featured on the Esprit, and 15 inch OZ alloy wheels to a similar pattern as the Esprit's.
According to Lotus records, only 1 Excel was manufactured to USA specification. The lack of release in the USA was due to the high emission regulations (which would hinder the car's performance), and poor sales of the car in Europe.

Sadly I think this Lotus is destined to slowly fade away. It seems to have been there at least a year.
This is the second such Lotus I've seen in need of saving in the past 2 weeks
This is a slightly-dressed-up version of the visualization I usually do for team rankings. Most of the graphic comes from Excel, with the team logos added afterwards in InDesign.
Graphically, this isn't much to look at, and I include it here only as a starting point. While Excel does allow custom colors across lines, they're not the easiest to pick - so for this I've only customized the Crew's line (look for the thicker line with the drop shadow).
As an ongoing fascination with making fake map-looking things in Excel via formatted pivot tables, here's one showing wildfires in the US.
