flat4alfa Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 It's will come on the original wheels, I dont like them so fitted some Barry wheels, the car came from englandshire, doubt one would have survived up here! So it comes with both sets? Factories and Barries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Bodywork is average Could you please explain what this means in reality? I mean, by now the average bodywork of these is having been a washing machine casing and then a pallet of sardine tins. scaryoldcortina, The Reverend Bluejeans, oldcars and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod/b Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Sell it to FOAD, he's had so many cars since then, he's probably forgotten he ever had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 In this case I imagine 'average' means neither a minter nor a total shitter but somewhere in the middle. HTH Lacquer Peel and CreepingJesus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryoldcortina Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 So a median average rather than mean or modal then. chaseracer, Dick Longbridge, Junkman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 No just original steels So it really looks like this now then? Sadly my Vauxhall licker has enough on plate and I am overwhelmed with Rovers to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Sell it to FOAD, he's had so many cars since then, he's probably forgotten he ever had it. I'd rather not have it back thanks.

nisfan Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Bollox is on the money with his description it's not mint but neither is it hanging, yes there's bits of rust but no holes or impending mot phails, the paint is flat but does come up ok with a decent polish.Yes it will be on the original trims like it has been for the past 2 months or so.I had it advertised on gumtree and car and classic had 2 people turn up, one expected a minter and the other thought it was fucked as he couldn't drive worth a fuck.It says something when I would rather drive this than the newer stuff I had Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Crikey. After that post I went off and looked it all up http://autoshite.com/topic/26558-crusty-carlton http://autoshite.com/topic/27711-vauxhall-carlton-l-£600-fife Not so sure I'd be getting so upset over a 600 note motor advertised as crusty and average. I was going to set up the roffle on the Rover 420 today but ermm I might not bother now edit: the angry post has been removed I see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yeah, even ten years ago when I was into Mantas the CIH was considered a bit of an anchor.I is old. I pulled out the CIH in my Manta and put in a 2.2 Carlton lump. When I read your post I realised I had my last Manta 24 years ago.
