    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!!

      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...

    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? 😮
