they were shit then, they're shit now,   why the hell would anyone want one?  never mind pay good money for one?



(speaking as someone who made the choice for Carlton , twice, and then on to Senators  back in the days when this Granny was current )

Granted its very nice and a car that has always eluded me. However if i was to go for one it would have to be either the 2.8 Injection Ltd Ed, or the 2.8i Ghia X.

jeeez,  ever spent any time driving one??

wallowy, slow,  thirsty,  no feedback from steering,  piss poor handling.



that's probably WHY i fell instantly in love with Carltons and Sennies.....   



i had to use one as a company car for 6 months,   doing a LOT of miles.....     THEN they made me use a 2.3 granny  estate , and in THAT i had the accident that broke my neck....   

maybe that might colour my feelings,  but, seriously,  i already got my OWN carlton 2.2 CDX at the time,..,..    but had to use the company vehicles for work...

Did'nt realize it'd been listed earlier. I accept the Mk2 Grannies are'nt the most involving car to drive but that was back in the day. Despite previously owning two lovely Omegas as i've said before i'm not a Vauxhall man as some of you are. I love Migs of course but i've never been a one marque bloke.
   This is more intended as a classic & lke it or not the old Fords fare much better market & following wise than the Vauxhalls, generally folk just love them longer..300+ classic Fords on ebay as oppose to 40 odd Vauxhalls.
   That said i'm loving this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ONE-OWNER-VAUXHALL-VICTOR-FD-ONE-OWNER-/230734802504?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item35b8ddae48 as it's a base spec 1600 with column change which i love in a classic but 77,000 on the old slant engine is'nt low mileage & i would'nt give any more than £1500 for it.
      The classic car market is a strange place. At the moment everything is going up in price, there is no glasses guide & any car is only worth what some one will pay for it. I'm waiting for the market to dip again, i won't pay silly money for anything.

   Would'nt turn a pretty Royale coupe away though!!!! :y
