Further info:

Three hundred and twenty Lotus Carltons were built between 1990 and 1992, of which the matching numbers sale car is No.209 and was first registered on the island of Jersey as 'J 13 LSE'. It was acquired by the vendor in March 1996 and returned to the mainland, at which point it had covered 22,000 miles. In 2000 he moved abroad, so placed the vehicle in storage with a total mileage of 48,378 being displayed. On awaking it from those slumbers it was evident that the car had suffered and was looking generally unloved, which decided the vendor to treat it to a thorough refurbishment. The body was stripped by a classic car specialist and given a bare metal respray in its original Lotus livery.

The engine fluids were changed, a couple of fuel injectors and the water pump 'O' ring replaced, and a new battery installed plus new brake pads. The engine was then fully detailed and is now said to 'run beautifully'. The Black leather interior had survived well and needed no further attention than a good clean. The original stereo system was reinstalled along with a period Clifford alarm system. The boot was re-carpeted in its original colour, and the emergency spare wheel remains in place and has yet to been used. A new Vauxhall badge bonnet badge was fitted but the original is to be included with the car. All four tyres have recently been replaced and the Vauxhall, now showing 48,391 miles, is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, twin-turbo straight-six engine and six-speed ZF manual gearbox, and 'very good' interior trim. This interesting Lotus Carlton comes complete with a book pack and an MOT into August 2019.
