Carlton Commando

Hi,

Does any one have an info on the Carlton Commando Kitcar built from 1984 - 1992. I'am look for Build Manuals, Information from the Owners Club ( Newsletters ),Magazine Articles ect. I will also be grateful for any general information from anyone who has built or owned one.

Yes it is Cortina MK 4 / 5 with a Rover V8 3.5


Thanks
James.

Ugly lump!

Abloke round the corner from me had one up to two years ago. It was like a P100 pickup in fibreglass. He bought it, didn't build it himself and he used it regularly as a lugger for towing etc. It was Cortina based like the early P100 and was still registered as a Cortina so someone had not gone the legal route or was it classed as a rebody and exempt from SVA.

yours, Pete.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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!

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to discuss such sensitive information on an open forum. But suffice it to say you are in the right ball park
