An excel is as interesting as a loaf of bread shame an early vehicle with more character

@B10L1473 a ex Travel Merry Hill B6 has been brought for preservation and is intended, I believe, to go back into that livery :)
(that livery brings back memories to me)

Both 598 and 669 have been recently preserved

I have to disagree with you there - in its time, the Excel was a classy design in a similar way to the Wright Gemini. However there are B6s preserved, a Spectra and no doubt a Merc and B10L will follow in due course - anyone saving up for a President - surely won't be lasting more than 12 months or so.
