How has the owner arrived at a figure of £150000?

Think of a large number and then multiply it by six? :)

Its nice and all, but I'd pass at anything over 10% of that price, let alone what the seller seems to want.  :o

I'm sorry, but whichever way you look at it, it looks like someone drove a 1.8GL through Helfrods.  :-\

It's probably the price that makes the car look cheap and tacky... If it were £45-55k, I could understand that, as that's about where decent Cosworths are now.

Don't think anyone in a good mental state would pay that ,far superior vehicles around now.

A tad overpriced.

And a brilliantly eloquent advertisment, too!  :-\

Always loved the LC but that price is way over the top.Mind you for some reason Sierra Cosworths are getting close to that kind of price.

 Having driven both, the Carlton is much better in every respect, and the Halfords bits serve a purpose.... a well tuned 24v could upset a cosworth ;D

Yes it's Sooo overpriced

Maybe my opinion would change driving one, but as it stands I'm not really sure what you're getting with the LC, yes, 380 odd bhp was astounding for the time, but you can have the performance now for sub £20k easily,

And beyond the performance, all you seem to have is a visually mediocre (to me) albeit probably comfortable 90's saloon car.  :-\

It looks like he will only entertain offers 'over' £150000.

Thats ludicrous. Im sure I remember them going for circa £30k less than 10 years ago.
Mind you, a Cosworth Sierra wouldnt see which way that went. A different league altogether from the old Dagenham dustbin.

I know the price is for the classic status of the Lotus Carlton but it shows how times have changed performance wise. The BMW Alpina D5 Bi-Turbo from the same seller (garage) would hang on to that, and do 48mpg on a decent run. Just saying like.......  ::)
The reality is, anything is only worth what people will pay.

 Its not really for sale. He puts that advert up to entice people to the showroom to look and eventually sells them something else. About three years ago it was only £50,000
