A rare opportunity to get your hands on perhaps the finest English super saloon ever produced, the Lotus Carlton. The Carlton definitely took the UK by storm and swiftly became a infamous for its 177 mph top speed. Powered by the 3615cc Opel C36GET inline six with two Garrett turbochargers, that produces 377bhp and 419lbft of torque, propelling the Vauxhall from 0-60 in 5.2 seconds.
Based around a four-door Vauxhall Carlton bodyshell modified to accept wider wheel arches, side skirts and a pronounced boot spoiler, the Carlton also benefited from Lotus enhanced power steering, disc brake and suspension and limited slip differential.
Under the dust ,the Imperial Green metallic paintwork remains highly presentable as does the Anthracite leather upholstery, it wouldn’t take much to return ‘Number 0006’ to its former glory.
