Nice Excel in Sportomotive
you say 'proper' engine yet its still a Lotus 910 but with nitrous and a supercharger.
Same engine as the Esprit 89> SE turbo, same as in my Esprit.

Funny how he's supercharged it, the engine can get 350 hp and upwards with a John Welch stage 1 turbo, larger injectors/chargecooler and a PUK racing chip. Mine does. Or did before I blew the head gasket but thats probably to do with my experimenting with sump breather/oil catch tanks. I think. Anyway, looks the nuts and I would like to own it.

Dear god - that's a lot of car for the money, assuming it's any good. Seems the guy did all the conversion work himself (fleabay one) which may or may not be a good thing.

May have a garage soon and so I'm thinking un-sensible Excel buying thoughts again.....

Unless it's in race tune it'll be 350 bhp still twice as fast as standard and should be more reliable :-)

A great buy for whoever bought it.
