It's a Lotus Carlton replica obviously but after a chat with the owner it's set to be one hell of a car...







The 18s are going and are being replaced with 20s, the bodywork is being touched up, A full Lotus Carlton interior is going
in. The GSi engine is looks set to be replaced with a genuine Lotus Carlton Jobbie + Nos.
I must admit I'm looking forward to seeing it finished!

Yep I've emailed him the link to come on and have a look at the feedback. Hopefully he'll be up for attending some of the events - although I think Autobahn Stormers have got their sticky fingers on him LOL
How much is a genuine LC nowadays then?

Yep, he said he's unsure what he wants to do with the bonnet. He liked the vent I've got on mine - but IMO there's no way it would suit his car. I'd be tempted to go for some extreme louvres of some sort.

I saw a Lotus Carlton on Saturday in Plymouth! It could well have been a replica, I didn't get a close look, it was behind me and I was looking at it in my mirror. It was on the road into Plympton by Mcdonalds, he then turned off left up a side road.

You can could drag race up your road Neil, just watch those curbs ;)
THE LOTUS CARLTON YOU SAW WAS A REP IT IS A 2LTR WITH REP KIT FROM BAD BOYS BODY STYLING I KNOW THIS AS I FITTED THE KIT LIKE I DID TO MY PURPLE/BLUE FLIP ONE

Tis a very nice looking car to be sure..... but I always think reps are a bit sad tbh.
It's an LC copy kit (probably made by PSG??) and he went to the bother of putting Lotus badges on it..... all a bit sad imo.

Last time I looked a genuine Lotus Omega could be had for £8k..... alright it's a left hooker, but that means bigger turbos are a piece of pish ;)
