Carlton Carrera
Has anybody heard of a Carlton Carrera??? (I think I've spelt it right) If you have can you find any pictures of them. I've tried googling
but with no success.

I've got to admit that, without knowing anything else about it, I quite like that.

They're CC cyclones
What's that got to do with the price of fish?
Or Carlton Carreras for that mater?
Or are you being "mysterious"
There's a lot of it about.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

BTW todays trivia.......
Carlton kits were made in the next industrial unit from where AGM produce the WLR.. they're still doing GRP but don't still have the
moulds - I asked as I had both a Carrera (with a rover V8) and a Carlton Commander, which was a Cortina based "jeep" style pick-up.
Useless knowledge - we got it!

Is it a very small copy of one?
I read the description:- Engine Size: 4 cc
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
