How much does a proper (RHD, Vauxhall Carlton) go for these days? £15k last time I looked.

if im right in saying then some people have tried to make gsi 3000's look like l.carltons... if it was a proper lotus carlton then tbh i dont think 1 they'd have it on ebay or 2 it would be so cheap/ have no stupid reserve

*edit:
i'v had a nosey and without looking properly these look like proper l.c's

Didn't mean to belittle the car. Still a full fat Lotus Carlton except badge and steering wheel position.

Damn right. It would only get its' legs properly stretched on a track or an autobahn so I wouldn't regard a left hooker as being a problem. :y

.. now don't tell me you'd want a shushbox on one? :o  ;)

You'd need to look a little further than an AR35 to handle that.

Me too.
Unless I happened across a sequential box that would take the torque, of course. 8-)

Still a bit of a weapon mate! Was talking to the ABS lads who had 4 of these down at Donnington and they are immense!

The lotus Carlton cost £48000 in 1990.
I bought a 3 bedroom terrace house in a nice area with a garage for £41000 in 1990.
Mighty expensive piece of kit in thos days. :y :y
