Hi. I'm new to Carlton ownership after buying one from a chap on ebay after it didn't sell first time around.

The car was bought for £200 with just over a months mot on it. This was fine as it was bought unseen as i only wanted the engine and gearbox for another car.

But as soon as i picked it up i knew i couldn't dismantle it so i put it in for an MOT yesterday. It passed first time with a list of advisories as long as my arm.

I found this website today after emailing GM6 looking for spares. He suggested this site so here i am. I will probably be asking alot of advice as there is a lot wrong with this car. I just like driving it too much!!

Thanks Graham
