Got a good deal on this earlier, the bodywork is scabby in places and the interior is terrible so will be on the lookout for carpets, door cards etc etc, the bonnet vents are particularly scabby so may start work on blending those in properly. I viewed it in the dark so will know better when i get the car home (saturday) the guy bought it then lost his job so dry stored it for a year.  Some nice split rims included   Has a scorpion half system on it  Better shot of the split rims (minor damage to n/s front but the rest look good  Have an MOT failure from the MOT before it was dry stored where it had work in the usual places for a carlton, they seem to have undersealed everywhere after that so hard to check in a barn but hopefully there shouldn't be any major rust problems.  Koni shocks fitted  |

I kinda like the wheels, different from Azevs anyways. I think if the centres were colour coded it would help.

I might whip the caps off and take some more pics, see what everyone thinks. I kinda like the wheels, different from Azevs anyways. I think if the centres were colour coded it would help.

The centre caps would look better in silver. Replace the badges in the centre caps, as they look gash.
