paulmanta Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 ahh, ok. I was at GM6 with Derek the other day and he offered me a very tidy Senator, similar age. Didn't know if it was a desire for a big Vauxhall rather than a specific want for a particular car. Very similar though, do they share a platform and the differences are cosmetic ?

Paul Barrett Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have acquired a lotus Carlton kit. To satisfy an itch it can be left up the farm when time and funds can get it built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCarlos Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I have a super solid carlton its an '84 2.2 automatic with only 35k on it. 4 door saloon in gold No rot whatsoever and in great condition Previous owner has resprayed it and it still wants building back up so its a bit of a project but not a massive one. Would gladly swap it for that manta you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmanta Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I had one of those, in green with a green interior, Auto, Left hand drive, bloody excellent waft-mobile. What sort of money would you want for that as is ? Not that I need any more cars, I have way too many and not enough time to do them but nostalgia is a powerful drug.

I can do it for £800 as it is paul , it really only needs the interior and doors putting back together. If youre interested i can get some proper pics next week ?
