Description
Year: 1992 Make: Vauxhall Model: Lotus Carlton Registration: K508 OPN
Chassis No: SCC000019M1283896
Engine No: 30M80409 Mileage: 73,492 The Lotus Carlton was a Vauxhall Carlton upgraded by Lotus Cars to be a 177mph sports saloon with acceleration equal to contemporary supercars.
When released, it was the fastest four-door saloon car in the world.
The external differences were minimal with the addition of a rear spoiler, air intakes on the bonnet, Lotus badges on the front wings and bootlid, a bodykit and considerably wider wheel arches.
The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of British Racing Green called Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black.
Registered new on 1st August 1992 this lovely example is presented in its original specification and is in excellent condition throughout.
The paintwork is superb and retains a deep shine and the engine bay and underside are also very clean.
The interior has clearly been well looked after ...
