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.

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!

Cheers

Errr, they are CC Cyclones.
Just being pedantic.
