nisfan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Heres the script from my facebook advert,Up for sale is my 1984 Carlton 2.0 manual Mk1 facelift.Showing 42000milesMot till decemberThe car drives well, no knocks or bangs, very comfortable cruiser.Bodywork is average and interior in good condition.Recent work includes a rebuilt weber carb with a manual choke, a new starter motor, ht leads, dizzy cap,rotor, exhaust looks to be quite new but dont know when it was fitted.Everything works as it should, original stereo, fuel gauge,temp gauge, voltmeter and oil pressure gauge. Even the factory fitted boot 'popper' works!Only bad points are a dent in the rear panel and a slight hesitation pulling away when the choke is in.The car is ready to drive away any distance, Big thanks to FOAD for his excellent photos privatewire, Dick Longbridge, CortinaDave and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
