Hello new members! Please read here first!

[Mike Nicholson]

Hello all you carlton fans, came across the site by chance, the carlton I have is a CD2i Estate L reg. The car has been off the road for 3 years and has been kept under the car port, I am now working on her in a very casual way and hope to have her on the road for the end of May so that I can tow our caravan with her as we have done in the past.

Regards Mike

We have a few members over that way but most of our welding members are over SE London area.
All the same we may just be able to help with locating parts and finding what help you need. What other parts do you need? and what engine does your car have?

Hello I am new to this forum but have been on ABS for a while. I own a white Lotus Carlton replica that I built and then raced in Nevada many years ago. I also have a business called BTB Exhausts that makes exhausts for racing cars, and have a sideline business selling Lotus Carlton parts called Agamemnon.

[CARLTON_GSI_SY]

hi there im sy based in hartlepool currently have a vast array of cars mainly vauxhall, and have recently purchased a carlton gsi 3000 12v auto 89 f reg thats only covered 75k thats displayed on its marvelous digi dash thats been clocked up by its 3 local owners as in my town owners where it was sold from and still displays original dealer plates and tax disk holder with dealer key ring in tact displaying our old phone area code 0429, i have original wallet and vast documents including original bill of sale and warranty with old mots etc it is really a gem, but as with all cars of its age it has its pit falls but nothing structural i may add more cosmetic and a little mechanical than major restoration etc, but woth other commitments i wont be getting round to it till next year but will be listening in on here as i have a few questions and querys. cheers for reading Sy

[dotty]

I have a K reg Vauxhall Carlton Diplomat to sell under 38000 genuine mileage to someone that will love this car.

[Murph]

We'll need pics of the car Dotty.
Is it a manual or auto?
Also can I ask where you're located?

[dotty]

Murph. DO not have ... photo to hand but will get one. My husband and I bought the car from a friends neighbour for our disabled son.It had been garaged all its life. Someone reversed into the back door which we replaced, the only thing is the car is blue and the door is red. The wing mirror was broken and that shorted out the heated rear window which exploded.We had it replaced but have not connected it because of the short. The car is an automatic and was driven every day.There is nine months MOT but the tax was a disabled one. My son died of a heart attack last month,the car was his pride and joy,he loved it.I want the car to go to someone who will also love it. We live in Stoke Poges in South Bucks our post code is SL2 4DN.

[PeterC]

Sorry to hear of your recent sad loss. As regards the car, it has probably found a safe place and I am sure that someone on here will be able to make the best of it. You are in the home counties so I am sure someone from totalCarlton will be able to look at the car. Best wishes Peter.

[Murph]

Most certainly!
Anyone local who can help these people out?
