About this car

The Lotus Carlton was the fastest four-door saloon of its day, a twin-turbocharged Vauxhall with a quoted 0-60mph time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 177mph. This is build number 861, first registered in April 1993 and supplied by Monorep Vauxhall in Luton. It is believed to be the third-last example sold in the UK.

Its history is unusual. Early servicing was by Monorep and then Pentagon Vauxhall until 1999, after which it moved to Northern Ireland in 2003 and was used sparingly. It returned to the UK in 2010 and sat undriven in a private collection until the current dealer bought it a couple of years ago.

The dealer has given it a full mechanical overhaul in its own workshop and a full bare-metal respray. No mileage is stated on the page.
