HOW MANY LOTUS ECLAT EXCEL ARE LEFT?

There are 129 LOTUS ECLAT EXCEL left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 290 LOTUS ECLAT EXCEL that are currently SORNED.

The total number of LOTUS ECLAT EXCEL was highest during 1997 Q4 (437). The number taxed topped out in 1997 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 18 (4%) LOTUS ECLAT EXCEL have been scrapped or exported.

During 2008 Q4 the number of LOTUS ECLAT EXCEL that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of LOTUS ECLAT EXCEL has gained 14. Licensed models have fallen by 29 and the SORNed total has increased by 43.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 7 LOTUS ECLAT EXCEL models. Taxed models have declined by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 13.

69% of the remaining 419 LOTUS ECLAT EXCEL in the UK are currently off the road.
