1984 Vauxhall Carlton 2000 CDi Auto Saloon For Sale

Excellent example of what is now sadly a rare sight on the roads.

Registered in September 1984 to Eastbourne Borough Council, this Carlton CDi served as the mayor's official car (you can still see where the pennant and borough shield were mounted) until it was replaced by a new-shape Carlton in 1987. Subsequently owned by a keen ex-engineer who maintained it himself until I bought it in June 1994.

Since then it has been regularly serviced, always garaged and quite sparingly used, mostly in fine weather. This is reflected in the mileage, which I've always accepted as correct and is currently around 89, 200 (that will increase slightly as car is run regularly).

This one has the 1979cc 110PS cam in head engine, with Bosch LE fuel injection, coupled to a three-speed auto box. It starts, goes, stops and steers as it should, and has a MoT until next April (no advisories).

Otherwise car is in good general condition and could easily be raised to show standard with a little tidying up here and there. The interior is also good, and I still have its original Phillips radio cassette player (not currently fitted for security).

But rather than my just listing a load of tedious details, the best thing is to come and take a look if you are interested. Then you will also be able to look through what is quite an extensive file of history.

To be honest, a very reluctant sale of car that's given me a lot of pleasure over the years, brought about by plans to leave the UK, which will mean that its garage is needed for storage. I had been planning to keep this car for many more years, and it has been maintained on that basis; I wouldn't expect to be able to find another one as good as this.

Any questions please ask. Additional photos available on request.
