Sold Unsellable 1984 Mk1 Carolton 2000 for sales, Fife, £500

[nisfan]

Heres the script from my facebook advert,

Up for sale is my 1984 Carlton 2.0 manual Mk1 facelift.
Showing 42000miles
Mot till december
The 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,

Beautiful!

I keep on looking but I have nothing pre 1990, just one thing from 1997 that nobody seems to want.

[nisfan]

It really needs to sell as I'm thinning down the fleet because I'm looking to move house but could be persuaded by something that takes my fancy

[stillOrange]

Have a bump because it's so pretty

Somebody does, but can't afford it.  Now if you're looking for a car nobody wants....

[Uncle Jimmy]

Fantastic car! Sell the BMW instead and keep it.

[nisfan]

As much as the BMW is always going wrong it's my 20 year old 'modernz' something that bit newer than the rest of my snotters

Gorgeous, would be good with a 3.0 V6 Omega engine in it

Deliver 2 Cornwall m9?

 

 

 

Oddly, I owned an identical one when I lived near Glenrothes in 1999... Can't remember the reg though... <scratches chin>

[Guest Hooli]

Bloody lovely, just needs proper wheels.

[nisfan]

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!

[purplebargeken]

All Vauxhallz are shit......... apart from this one.

[nisfan]

All Vauxhallz are shit....

Fixed

[nisfan]

With the help of FOAD and mrs FOAD we had a go at trying to time it up a bit better, what a difference! Goes very well now, nice induction sound from the weber now and a rasp at higher revs

[DodgyBastard]

If only it was an Opel...

[nisfan]

If only it was not a Vauxhall

[cort16]

I can't believe this hasn't sold it seems like a bit of a bargain .

[nisfan]

I'll take £500 for it now, using it as a daily which seems a shame( until the carina is on the road)

[cort16]

Fuck that's cheap

[Brodders]

Bumping this up as it is a superb price for a car like this.

[purplebargeken]

Grrr for not being auto.

[pandamonium]

Damn you being in Scottishland and me having no money. I want this lots and lots.

[nisfan]

Currently in talks from somebody off this forum about buying it, now on 44500 miles which shows not all vocksolls are shiz!

[JohnK]

I really hope this is sold on here, I saved it from being weighed in last year and it would be great to keep updated on it.

[New POD]

I need a large barn.

[Uncle Jimmy]

I need a job and a secretary.

[New POD]

Or a secretary to do the job ?
