My Carlton CD estate

[Neil]

Hello everyone!
Thought it was about time I posted a picture of my carlton.  It’s a ’93 CDi Estate, bought from e-bay a few months ago.
It’s in pretty good condition with very little rust and all the electrics working.  So far it’s proving very reliable – 5,000 miles clocked up in just over two months without problem.

Work done so far:
-New petrol tank fitted.
-One anti roll bar link replaced (other to follow shortly)
-Front indicators replaced (the outer covers flew off them both within 2 weeks of each other)
-New radiator header tank and engine temperature sensor

I’ll try and get a few more photos soon.

Nice example m8,  it must be a fault with carltons to loose the indicater lenses, same happend to my carlton and my uncles carlton.

I had an '88 GL in that colour and it was my favourite one so far.
Fine example my friend!

Thanks all, glad you like it. 
It's actually my second carlton - the first was a '92 GL which I had until a couple of years ago. (I had an omega in between but it wasn't quite the same - How many others have gone carlton to omega and then back to a carlton?)

Sorry Pedro, this ones definitely not for sale just yet!!

Just found a picture of the old carlton:


ps my pin is now in the map.

No worries - so the search continues.

I have my £12 67 in my pocket still, and it's starting to burn a hole.............

Yummy looking motor. I had those type of wheels on my old H Reg 2.0 GLi (RIP)(obtained from a CDX in a Somerset scrapyard) ...

It makes the car look absolutely stunning when the wheels are gleaming ...

Best is thorughough ash, then alloy wheel foam spray left for 5 mins then another good scrubbing with a brush did the trick for me - lots of elbow grease but they are really cool wheels when glowing
