That Carlton rally is a turd. Nowonder th seller whazzed it back up for sale FIRST CHANCE. 'sure the XE boys will be after it though.

That Carlton is the same colour as my first car (Vauxhall Nova) It's called Brazil Brown.

 

Also ace ebay tip there, wash your car and then photograph it before leathering it off, it gives the sense that it's a highly polished gem when i realty it's a rusty, matt old turd.

That has a readers ride thread on Retro Rides, IIRC it belonged to a vicar, Nice to see that it hasn't been 'scened' up... Yet.

Shame, I love these old Carltons, Mk1's in particular. All the welding on this one looks manageable except the scuttle rot - I imagine that will see it on the track as it needs the windscreen taking out to fix it properly, and not many people bother on old shite.

It's also in bastard Truro, meaning large swathes of leboncoin shite are more quickly accessable.

20 inch reams are gonna hurt like hell...

Oh it's a bloody good job that doesn't have a towbar or I'd have a go at it.

 

I don't think that engine would be ideal for towing, I suspect there's not a lot of low down torque.

 

I know it's not ideal, but I do fancy having a go at a 166 V6 sometime. I enjoyed the 164s.

-I really fancy some mid-90s J-dross again, like this posh Carina E Executive. I reckon £500 would get a good 'un.

-ofcourse if I were COMPLETLEY INSANE I might consider a Xedos 6.

 

Last year this perticular plan was shot-down by insurance costs higher than i was willing to stomach, since then I've moved out of the parent's house and had a fault claim. I never though insurance would still be a problem when I'm pushing 30 yrs old.....

If you do, go for a 3 litre - preferably with a 6-speed manual. The 2.5s aren't that much quicker than the 2-litres and they're just as thirsty as a 3.0. I had a 3.0 with the 4-speed tiptronic box and it was bloody quick, but undergeared for such a big engine.

 

2-litre TS doesn't have a great deal of low-down pull, but again the 2-litres are pretty low geared for a big car so would imagine it would make an adequate tow vehicle - or you could lob in a 2.4 JTD from a dead Marea.
