Im not quite sure what part of it is a Lotus Carlton... maybe the basic car before it went to Lotus... :(
-
what the chuff is replica there apart fromthe name(carlton)
bag of shite...some people
-
Many reasons with both of his cars is why I don't consider mine a replica.
His green one isn't bad though. ;)
-
replica of a sh!t box more like, shame, Calton in standard format is nice looking car.

There was one going up the A19 at Peterlee today, had a rear spoiler on, was gold in Colour. Not sure if it was a Lotus, how would I tell? it was very clean though, as I passed him in my Citroen :D :D :D well he had slowed to turn off........ ;D ;D :y
-
Pretty sure all Lotus versions were dark Green. :y

That's a stupid thing to say mate - you seen the green one of his?
What do you need to fit to class what you would call an Elsie "replica"?
I think most people class a rep of a car as summat that just looks like or similar to the original.
He couldn't really try harder with his green one - try getting Elsie front wheels, engines, gearboxes - and that's before you look at disc brakes, calliper repair kits, brake pads and standard service items etc.
Ever had a go yourself?
-

I think he put to much effort in to that one as no effort has been made on the one for sale :D
-
No, didn't see the green one, only the one in the advert that was red. My opinion was only if ALL his efforts at replicas were as that one, he was only convincing himself they were "replicas".
do appreciate there are SOME good replicas, didn't someone say "imitation was the sincerest form of flattery"??
-
Anyone recognise this car. ::)

i have owned this car for nine yrs.and spent a lot of time getting it to how it looks now.in 2007 the engine and gearbox were removed and completly overhauled.also the lotus body kit was added along with 17inch oz racing wheels.the car was resprayed in ferrari rosso red with viper stripes.the car has been superchipped,and the suspension uprated.any questions please ring pete on *******
No mention of the superchip or the 2560bhp in the current add.
[edit]Neglects to mention the 177K mileage or engine rebuild either[/edit]
-
Different name, too.....and says he has'nt had the car long.
mmm. something isn't right, is it?
-
met that car at a trax day at silverstone few years ago, it was a mobile chicane on the track ,having lapped it twice, i thought it was broken!! after the session the owner said i didnt want to redline it as the engine is new!!!!
