One for the ABS...
« on: 27 June 2016, 10:12:26 »
This oddity!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-CARLTON-3-0-ESTATE-/291778703140?hash=item43ef5daf24:g:JlgAAOSwNsdXTbJX

Now this, to all intents and purposes is the one-off Viceroy Estate, made for the Queen - but that's documented, known of vehicle owned by an EBS clubmember. So this would appear to literally be a Carlton estate with a Royale front end. Odd!  :)

Hardly, it's bolt on panels. Makes it a Vauxhall Carlyle ;D A cut and shut would be the two door Viva with a  mk2 Golf front end I saw at the Chelsea cruise 25 years ago. Very strange car.
