Hi Pints,
Sorry, my thread must be very mis-leading. It also sound as though I have invited myself to Rogers place, which I can assure him, is not the case.
I'll start again. The car in question, I purchased in 1993 (assuming it is the one in Rogers collection). In about 1995 I brought it back to South Africa importing it through the port of Durban. I was working in Canada/USA for a while, and in between was staying with friends in Empangeni. I went from there in about 1998 to Somerset West where the car was looked after by a friend of mine when I was in Canada/USA. Due to lack of use, I sold it to a Sports Car company in Cape Town. They handled Ferraris, Lamborghinis etc, so were a biggish outfit. I believe the buyer traded in a Porsche 944 for the Excel.
Approximately 18 months later, the car was back in the same showroom. That was the last time I saw it.
In the 5 years I owned it, it ran faultlessly. The only thing that ever failed was a fuse for the nearside headlamp.
I hope Roger reads this as I would love to know if it is in fact the one I imported.
Hope this clarifies things.
Cheers,
Martin.
