It's unreal to have a Lotus Carlton, and then it's unreal to leave it outside for the elements to attack the old girl! Even a car cover is better than nothing, what a rare machine 2 find!!

[@SILENTREVO91]

Unfortunately car covers can at times make things worse as they trap moisture

[@doomybear7389]

Reconfigured plates and mini electronic scales inside, who would own a car like this?

[@loulabubbooks1495]

Short maybe, amazing definitely. The Cavalier was incredible, so so rare! But then the Lotus Carlton!!! 🤤

[@seanadams8504]

Seen this lotus Carlton all over the car groups on FB mate so you're not the first or last. Crazy leaving it on the damp ground like that knowing what it is just doesn't make sense at all.. crazy just crazy. Some great cars there mate

[@roryhazlie753]

That is an absolute crime and a shame to leave that abandoned for so long. That should be saved and restored to its glory and I wouldn’t care how much it takes to restore it.

[@ektrolleyboy]

No Lotus badge on the front. Only on the front wings… People are strange creatures! Why oh why wouldn’t he cash-in? He’s clearly living in the fantasy that he’ll one-day get around to it. But he won’t. There’s a Lotus Elan near me in exactly the same situation.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

I think they like them cars to be part of landscapes.. silly creatures those who abandon them like that not using vehicles as are intended..

[@ajfessey_landpirate8014]

KAL 11C is the plate off the white Datsun infront of it.

[@chrispope8820]

That’s bloody criminal leaving a Lotus Carlton to rot like that 😢

Hey Stu , don't worry , as I've said before we all love your content and how you work hard to bring it to us while we just sit/lie here enjoying it . Massive thanks 👊. But WOW Lotus Carleton !!! Honestly cannot believe it's been sat there that long . ❤❤❤

[@minimeee04]

Cant believe an empty head would have a Lotus Carlton on his drive in the open.

[@Jon-bx1ij]

Such a shame the Lotus Carlton has been left unloved for 30 years. Lol I bet 40RA has been said many times over the years when people have walked past it.

[@superhandsgaming9091]

40ra was a legendary car,

[@jboi9309]

With all due respect.. to the ordinary person walking past this car will have more than likely just past it off as a mere Vauxhall Carlton car with a body kit.. Whereas to a car enthusias, they will pick this car out from a lineup of other cars.. knowing it to be a 1 of 286 that rolled off the Lotus's production line 30 odd years ago.. with a price tag nudging £50k.. Nevertheless, it's a shame that the owner allowed the car to just sit and rust away...

[@KevinJones-ye3vw]

Mate Videos if they are short or long it don't matter because they are always great . Loved that cavalier had two SRI 130 many moons ago never ever seen an estate version . The Lotus carlton a great find . Stay safe mate looking forward to next installment

[@blitz9994]

That cav estate started life as a blue 1.6 auto

[@Manic-172]

I wonder if the cavalier has a sri130 engine in it .. don't remember them making an estate version.... done some googleing.. its a replica running a 16v red top . Was sold in 2021 threw Ebay

[@stevenbutler2030]

Still a fantastic video mate 👍

[@HKB-1]

There is currently a totally immaculate 1992 Lotus Carlton with 76,941 miles advertised on Ebay. Coming up for auction soon, the asking price is £85,000.

[@johnmusk7007]

Yes thats the values of these cars

[@jeffleahey1037]

Love it . Rare old bird 😂👍

[@Luton-Mick]

I'd be shocked if that LC is still salvageable after years being sat in long damp grass. The mans a fool.

[@R56TurboCharged]

Cost more to repair than it's value tbh, worth more as spare parts now.

£120,000 when finished

i just cannot understand some people that lotus carlton just been left to rot what a mad world has i always say people must have money to burn great find mate keep up the good work 🚐🚐🚐

[@Snowy1of1]

I owned 1 of those..........Cavalier Estates, it was rare as hens teeth then and had barely 20k on the clock in 2002, was same as this one. Sadly didnt have a Carlton, although made up for it by having a Vectra. Short but sweet Stu, such a shame its sat rotting and nobody os doing anything about it. Even if the chap that owns it hasnt the time, Im sure thiers plenty of people out there, yourself included Stu, that would love to get involved, bring it back out on the road for the chap to enjoy once again before it gets past saving and becomes a mere memory and a pile of rust.

[@petedynamique]

Short and sweet, the cav was sick

[@paul7TM]

Mk 2 Cavalier estate. I remember those those things beating up and down the M1. Not many left that didn't rot away. Nice one. I prefer seeing the cars that I could afford to buy...be it well used 😎

There's no way that has been there for years and that bit of grass in the front light has been put there 30 years ish sat there it would be worst state then that come on

[@R56TurboCharged]

You should have grabbed a quick snap of the Vin Plate on the Carlton to find out it's original reg. Possibly stolen as it's on false plates and probably the reason the owner wants it kept off the internet and doesn't like people looking at it.

[@kevinwright3141]

I park by that lotus when I go to the Villa. Not moved in years… photoed it a few times and put it on various FB groups. The owner of it has replied a couple of times.

[@thomashinsley-zx5uf]

I can’t believe that car is just there like that

[@Greig300]

40RA was found in a swamp/canal shortly after it was stolen…then it was written off… the original owner kept the licence plate and now has it back on an another Lotus Carlton.

[@NickB_Yorkshire]

What a crying shame to leave the car like that Stu. It needs to be restored before it’s too late. When I had my Sapphire Cosworth in the 90s, I tried keeping up with one from our village but with nearly twice the power of mine it was difficult 😉. Proper 90s supercar 👍🏼

[@Comical-Intellect]

You need to visit me and Jeff in South Wales. Mainly American stuff but lots of rust and history

Apart from the Lotus Carlton... I gotta say, this is the very 1st estate SRI Cavalier I've ever seen?? 😳 I'm a car enthusias, and I had no idea that these were made in the estate version?? As all the ones I saw on the road were 5 door hatchbacks or a 4 door saloons.. Lastly, nice to see a Nissan Bluebird especially the ZX Turbo version that you never really saw many of in their hey day.. albeit now off the road parked up soaking up a good earned rest that won't do the body work, engine or tyres any good.. 😊
