Lotus Carlton Insurance

[Nictrix]

Was there not a famous story about a carlton in a police chase

Reg 40 RA lots of YouTube stuff available .

My first buy if I win the lottery is a LC. Had the chance to buy one from a dealer late 90’s for sub £20k in Rutherglen or a Calibra turbo, Bought the Calibra as insurance was proving difficult at the time

The reg appears to be on a green carlton now

Used to be a Lotus Carlton parked up at a house near me in a East kilbride back in the early/mid 90s. Used to admire it every time I passed on the way to my mate's house.
Don't remember ever seeing another one on the road.

That's because they were all owned by City bankers and stock brokers. They were more common on the A40 going into London than 911s in 1991, and there were a LOT of those!

But they were still fugly Carltons (or Omega as they were really called) . That shape was horrendous ....

It’s a view. I’ll wager not everyone will agree

I liked them,they were great cars in some people's eyes
Not cheap when new,and not surprised at cost now, given their rarity
