i remember looking at the brochures and seeing the carlton 2200 cdi in carnelian red thinking it looked a fine machine . 1994 and that dream was realised and the car didnt dissapoint . very comfy ride with more than enough power . still have it to this day . not bad on the rust side either with it seeming to bear better than the model that followed it . strut tops were a rust trap that killed a few ( mine were replaced with 2mm galv shortly after i bought it and whilst the area was still very good and still perfect now )
the mk3 carlton however was always bad on front chassis leg tops but otherwise nothing too bad elsewhere .( similar to omegas )
nothing that would scrap a car if you did your own repairs( maybee so if you sent it to a garage !)
