It's unreal to have a Lotus Carlton, and then it's unreal to leave it outside for the elements to attack the old girl! Even a car cover is better than nothing, what a rare machine 2 find!!
Unfortunately car covers can at times make things worse as they trap moisture
Short maybe, amazing definitely. The Cavalier was incredible, so so rare! But then the Lotus Carlton!!! 🤤
Seen this lotus Carlton all over the car groups on FB mate so you're not the first or last. Crazy leaving it on the damp ground like that knowing what it is just doesn't make sense at all.. crazy just crazy. Some great cars there mate
No Lotus badge on the front. Only on the front wings…
People are strange creatures! Why oh why wouldn’t he cash-in? He’s clearly living in the fantasy that he’ll one-day get around to it. But he won’t.
There’s a Lotus Elan near me in exactly the same situation.
I'd be shocked if that LC is still salvageable after years being sat in long damp grass. The mans a fool.
Cost more to repair than it's value tbh, worth more as spare parts now.
Remur has it his locked up
£120,000 when finished
@@MrBentenmen That's in original showroom condition with service history and dry stored....... Not one that's been rotting away and had vermin living in it.
Such a shame the Lotus Carlton has been left unloved for 30 years. Lol I bet 40RA has been said many times over the years when people have walked past it.
40ra was a legendary car,
With all due respect.. to the ordinary person walking past this car will have more than likely just past it off as a mere Vauxhall Carlton car with a body kit.. Whereas to a car enthusias, they will pick this car out from a lineup of other cars.. knowing it to be a 1 of 286 that rolled off the Lotus's production line 30 odd years ago.. with a price tag nudging £50k.. Nevertheless, it's a shame that the owner allowed the car to just sit and rust away...
@@jboi9309 yeh im afraid those enthusiast types are the ones that would prob try to steal it
Sick of hearing 4RA!!
That is an absolute crime and a shame to leave that abandoned for so long. That should be saved and restored to its glory and I wouldn’t care how much it takes to restore it.
Oh Stu dont worry about Sundays vid, we know how busy you are and understand. We all love you and know you'll bring us a banger of a vid. Take it easy Bro.
Hey Stu , don't worry , as I've said before we all love your content and how you work hard to bring it to us while we just sit/lie here enjoying it . Massive thanks 👊.
But WOW Lotus Carleton !!! Honestly cannot believe it's been sat there that long . ❤❤❤
There is currently a totally immaculate 1992 Lotus Carlton with 76,941 miles advertised on Ebay. Coming up for auction soon, the asking price is £85,000.
KAL 11C is the plate off the white Datsun infront of it.
Would love to see inside the workshop - looks like there are real barn finds inside!
Well done finding the Lotus Carlton - strange setup.
Great video - short but sweet 👍👍
That reg plate on lotus Carlton comes back as a nissan bluebird
Yeah, I just checked it too 🤔
@@L4WNY..its probably 40ra 😂
@@twizzlestickx7 imagine!! 😅🤣
@@L4WNY.. its stolen 😂🤣😂
Lotus Carlton were amazing cars and great video as always
There's no way that has been there for years and that bit of grass in the front light has been put there 30 years ish sat there it would be worst state then that come on
I agree. I have stuff that's been sat 3 or 4 years and it looks a million times worse than that.
@@peterbunting8485 your 100% right
it would have been stolen if it was. the English enthusiast types would not resist pinching it
@hassyg4083 a car like that your sure right mate
@@AndreChilver had a friend who had Ford RS , people kept asking about it but unwilling to pay the price, he was keeping it to fix up oneday someone just stole it. prob broken for parts as never found again
Id love to get my hands on that vauxhall Carlton and bring it back to its former glory man oh yes ✨👌✨👍👍👍
Cant believe an empty head would have a Lotus Carlton on his drive in the open.
Blows my mind and hurts my soul how people can let absolute gems like this waste away, next to no miles on it too😒
I park by that lotus when I go to the Villa. Not moved in years… photoed it a few times and put it on various FB groups. The owner of it has replied a couple of times.
Another brilliant video Stu
You should have grabbed a quick snap of the Vin Plate on the Carlton to find out it's original reg. Possibly stolen as it's on false plates and probably the reason the owner wants it kept off the internet and doesn't like people looking at it.
i just cannot understand some people that lotus carlton just been left to rot what a mad world has i always say people must have money to burn great find mate keep up the good work 🚐🚐🚐
Reconfigured plates and mini electronic scales inside, who would own a car like this?
That as false plates.it comes back. To a datsun sunny
I wonder if the cavalier has a sri130 engine in it .. don't remember them making an estate version.... done some googleing.. its a replica running a 16v red top . Was sold in 2021 threw Ebay
😢brought a tear to my eye that carlton
And the cavalier 130 estate 😢
Cavalier is a 1.6 auto 😅
Yeah, they never made a cav Sri 130 estate.
@@peterbunting8485 yeah but thats ok are you sure just found another on retro rides F532RMH
I like a estate car and I like old skool cars all this new shit breaks down after the warranty by design
@@ZafiraSteve that's OK nothing a saab engine won't fix Steve ☺
Great finds that bluebird Infront of the carlton is a rare thing , 910 sss coupe a friend of mine had 2 of them
Saw a mint lotus carlton last week, took a pic but can't send on here, it was k reg in excellent condition, probably restored but lovely car
Bangin video bro love Vauxhalls seeing that lotus carlton n that cav estate this is one of ur best videos nice 1 stokzey
I've had a few Vauxhall's over the years but always wanted a Lotus Carlton.
Great video Stu 🤜🤛
Hey buddy that's the best thought to have chosen the footage of that Lotus Carlton was absolutely amazing well done fella love your content as always brother 😮
Cool cars stu and don't worry about video length or content each video is great anyway ...👍
How Ya Stu
LC 😢 Shame To See It Rotten Away Like It Is - The Cavi Estate A Great Find - No Probs If No Sunday Vid - The Wait Will Be Worth It Next Weekend
Take Care Bud & Stay Safe Out There 😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
Morning stu what ever you put up mate is great 😊
I owned 1 of those..........Cavalier Estates, it was rare as hens teeth then and had barely 20k on the clock in 2002, was same as this one. Sadly didnt have a Carlton, although made up for it by having a Vectra.
Short but sweet Stu, such a shame its sat rotting and nobody os doing anything about it. Even if the chap that owns it hasnt the time, Im sure thiers plenty of people out there, yourself included Stu, that would love to get involved, bring it back out on the road for the chap to enjoy once again before it gets past saving and becomes a mere memory and a pile of rust.
That’s bloody criminal leaving a Lotus Carlton to rot like that 😢
Nice to see the carlton it be great to see it on the road again cav estate great an the Nissan top job stu love an respect ❤
40RA was found in a swamp/canal shortly after it was stolen…then it was written off… the original owner kept the licence plate and now has it back on an another Lotus Carlton.
That is worth money sat there. Why wouldn't the owner want to make the cash.. Clear the space and also stop people rocking up and hanging around... Or get car sos on board to restore it
Nice set of scales in the car you can guess the guys profession, Reading comments is funny people get so passionate about parked old cars they even try stealing them clowns
Best car you found yet
Still a fantastic video mate 👍
Short and sweet, the cav was sick
ohh mate stokze an absolutely brilliant vid mate it doesn't matter how short the vid is it's about what's on the vid and that lotus carlton and the nissans and cavalier est is totally with it, shame that you could get in that lock up buts ok, that carlton should not be left sitting there it will attract attention i mean really come on, being left there like that for all them years,, i've had 3 different model of carlton back when i was younger not all at once haha,, the best one i had was a carlton diplomat lovely car it was,, if they don't like people stopping and looking at the car then they should move it, i mean really why are you leaving a car like that there anyway,, but anyway stokze keep doing what your doing my fav car channel on y tube thanks mate
Mate Videos if they are short or long it don't matter because they are always great . Loved that cavalier had two SRI 130 many moons ago never ever seen an estate version . The Lotus carlton a great find . Stay safe mate looking forward to next installment
That cav estate started life as a blue 1.6 auto
Carlton owner needs help in the brain department 😢
Mk 2 Cavalier estate. I remember those those things beating up and down the M1. Not many left that didn't rot away. Nice one. I prefer seeing the cars that I could afford to buy...be it well used 😎
Seen this a few times on barn find pages
Guy with the LC stuck as a make shift greenhouse is he an inmate a Broadmoor? Why not either restore it or let someone else give it some TLC and enjoy it?
team traction was in Canterbury at the end of Sturry road behind a petrol station
Yes, I thought I recognised the logo. My brother sold one of his cars there, years ago. Don't recall ever seeing a LC in this neck of the woods though!
Short but sweet Stu with some incredible finds and some intriguing hidden gems. Is that building for sale? If so is that a way in to record the inside of the garage? Keep doing what you do Stu because even short and sweet is strong content.👍😎
Just do what you can do 👍
Nice looking mk2 cavalier deffo getting rare
I GUARANTEE YOU now its going to stolen 😢 #lotus
Easy to take
Good luck 😅
@@thecarguychannel it really wouldn't take much to lift it.. Worth a absolute fortune parted out too.. I'd be moving behind the others for sure
Cut the brake lines on the Datsun. Put a beaver tail tow truck with winch and it’s gone in 60 seconds!
I meant good luck getting out that road 🤣
Nice bit of snappy content 👌🏾
You them nissans and that cav estate is rare and a lotus Carlton oh my god sat there I've only been close to one years ago in Evesham and that got nicked I used to live in the same village every one knows it they are rare and expensive well if he doesn't want it all over utube then move it and garage it 30 years just sat rotting on he's drive
🎉Stokze🎉
There has to be some youtube channel in the uk that can do a full detail video on it and make it run and drive for the owner and his son!
Great video... This car has been shown numerous times on various forums... 1st time seen a video of this car...front badge would have been vauxhall not lotus.... Someone probably nabbed it before.... Surprised no one has taken any parts off it...
That looks like a TVR Grantura behind the morris.
I feel bad for that Lotus mate. 😢
Ooohhhh the Nissan Blue Bird Turbo wow 😮 that is ancient man yea yea ☝️👍👍👍😎😎😎
Unbelievable!!! On so many fronts!!!
That is such a shame about the Carlton stu wow
The Vauxhall wagon I had the equivalent Australian version in the 90s wow
wow the S8 i love it .ill pay him 10 grand today ,but its getting nicked for sure .
Lotus was worth the video. Must find a way into that time capsule
No way, it's a setup.
Effort on false plates
Kel 11c
Datsun bluebird 😅
It’s so upsetting to see a lotus Carlton untouched for these years it’s probably to gone to go back on the road now to
Beauty what a shame stokze get it restored not many left now
There is one in Huddersfield sat on a drive for donkey years
any thing is savable
Was that some portable digital scales in footwell😂 ifso wonder what the car was used for back in the day
I'm surprised no 1 has stolen that
Cavalier mk2 SRI 130
wow All i saw
Been sitting there thirty years ? Yea right. I would say its been there a few weeks.
Apart from the Lotus Carlton... I gotta say, this is the very 1st estate SRI Cavalier I've ever seen?? 😳 I'm a car enthusias, and I had no idea that these were made in the estate version?? As all the ones I saw on the road were 5 door hatchbacks or a 4 door saloons.. Lastly, nice to see a Nissan Bluebird especially the ZX Turbo version that you never really saw many of in their hey day.. albeit now off the road parked up soaking up a good earned rest that won't do the body work, engine or tyres any good.. 😊
The cavalier is not an sri, it's a 1.6 auto
@ZafiraSteve Oops.. my bad... that will explain why I never saw an estate Sri in real life then.. 🤣
ZX turbo was famous for blue smoke
Is it on google earth street view? So the law on public photography allows us to film and post anything we can see from public
Why does the Carlton reg comeback as a nissan bluebird?
I will never understand the bone headed stubbornness of owners of these incredibly rare cars that are happy to have them return to the earth.
Lotus Carltons have always been sought after, why not look after it?
Even if it's kept in a garage undercover.
Surely better than sat on damp ground completely open to the elements.
Nooooo, it should be illegal to abandon one of them...life in prison! ;)
How many lotus carltons are left?
Start your bids now!
Why cut all the grass but leave all the overgrow around the Carlton, like people can’t see it? 😢
Thar Carlton is in good condition if ir has been there for 30 years, did you ask the son why his dad parkewd it up?
❤sri 130 🔥🔥🔥🔥💎
Wow a Lotus Carlton.
Don't view it.
Don't film it.
Won't sell it.
Okay.
But at least get out of the weeds and on blocks to save it.
Why would the owner not just sell it to someone who would restore it? Such a shame
Lotus Omega in Germany
Didn't know vauxhall made a sri estate
Leaving a lotus carlton like that should carry a prison sentance.😢
Plates on a bluebird
😢😢😢
I don't know what gets into peoples heads when they leave an iconic Lotus Carlton to rot into the ground as they obviously do not have the funds to restore it themselves and then refuse to sell it to a Lotus Carlton enthusiast who will restore it spending £££ and give it a new lease of life! 🤬
I wonder why there is a set of big scales sitting on the passengers side floor 😂 hmmmm 😅
Don't get it...why having a Vauxhall badge , on a Lotus ? The Lotus Omega, never had a Opel badge . Did these 343 cars, sell from the Vauxhall dealers ?
The man has a lot of money because I know someone offered him £30k cash for it as it sits and he said no thanks.
There’s a white Datsun Bluebird coupe maybe a SSS version in the background they are extremely rare since 2022 KAL11C plate has been put in the white Datsun in the Background? Wonder what the original plate on the Carlton is meant to be? 😮
How much is that worth
That Reg comes back as a Nissan Bluebird.. Shame.
No way it's been there 30 years Looks looked after to me. Set up.
