Awesome cars!

Would love to have a go in one. Always had a soft spot .

Rare as fook though are they not?

My old man has one with a reg not too dissimilar to K948XGS.

Only been in it twice, as it hibernates for most of the year lol.

Quick as f**k. I bet it handles like a trifle though. Maybe.

Still some for sale every now and then. Price varies on quality - you need big wallets to run them now. Joe Ellis of BTB is a specialist, he raced his across Nevada averaging 160mph! Check out http://www.racecar.co.uk/lotuscarlton/

Maybe, but for those 10 seconds or less...

I was on a training course a month or so back and a guy there, about 26, had a Lotus Carlton AND a Delorean. Hero!!

Ultimate heroic daily driver.

I love them.

Twin turbo straight-six = Win.

There's a couple of Carltons which come to my local car show, one of them is owned by an old man and three old dears. They sit next to it in fold up chairs drinking out of a thermos, and then when the show's over, they rag it off the common at what looks like 200mph. Awesome.
