I see there was a Carlton at LOG. someone said that they would run full tilt for a few moments before it went boom ?

tons O torque.

[GregWO]

I saw that pic of the Carlton. I read that somewhere.... now where was it?

[Brian Skeoch]

it was in the LOG pictures that Mick posted this morning in the LOG 28 thread.

[GregWO]

DUH!!! i must get my head checked.....:huh::huh::huh:

[WayneB]

Its not a Vauxhall Lotus Carlton, its an Opel Lotus Omega (all the LHD ones were Opels):)

It would only go boom If its engine was knackered.:(

Wonder how and/or when it got state side? Just for the show? :huh:

[Brian Skeoch]

Mark Pfeffer up in St Louis assisted in the process of the owner getting it here. I believe it has only been in the states a short while.

[Brian Skeoch]

Wayne, is the wing on that Carlton off a 93 Esprit ?

[WayneB]

No its different.

If its the Omega Im thinking about It was on ebay UK about 6 months ago.

It went for about $18,000 (9 thousand british pounds) I think.

Its a complicated car that requires a history of good maintenance, a bad one would be a financial and mental nightmare!

These are hot!!!! We have so many of these good looking cars on the road but I never get tired of hearing the noise from these things, they sound great and the new flared wheel arch look thats been out for some time now is a winner IMO.
