Posted May 5, 20241 yr Hi all, hope everyone is shining up their cars for the summer. If anyone is interested, there is a new event at Stonham Barns Park, in June. It is a non club stand event, but you can either do the weekend or just a day. All you have to do is turn up in your Vauxhall, Bedford, or Opel. I will add a picture with details on. Would be nice to meet up with some faces of owners.
June 30, 20241 yr Author Hi folks, Did anyone on here get to Stonham Bans for the VAUXFEST24? I went down on the Sunday, it was a nice hot day, and there were quite a selection of Vauxhall/Opel cars to browse over. Unfortunately they didn't allow any club stands, so not a lot of interaction going on between owners. If you go on the Vauxfest Facebook page, there are loads of photos of the weekend. Andy.
July 2, 20241 yr Glad you managed to get to the show Andy and also that it was lovely weather as well Will have a look at the pictures soon, did you show your car there?
July 5, 20241 yr Author Hi there, yes I did show my car. Don't know if there was any pictures with it in though. Basically you just turned up with your car, and joined on to the field where all the others were parked. It was like a Vauxhall/Opel only car park. It was a pity that there was no club stands though.
July 12, 20241 yr Author And there were loads more too. From Novas to Chevettes. And yes that last photo was the genuine article. The Holy grail of Carltons...... The Lotus Carlton. 😁
July 16, 20241 yr Author It is definitely a car to be reckoned with. Do you know if they were ever any other colour than black ??
July 16, 20241 yr Quote The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of green called Imperial Green (similar to British Racing Green). Taken from Google search - thought it was a dark green but I suppose in the right (or wrong) light it can appear to be almost black
July 16, 20241 yr Yep that's the real deal - although I have never seen a replica Lotus Carlton yet but the 3000GSi was a look-alike for sure!
July 16, 20241 yr Author In the sunlight at vauxfest it did seem black, and very shiny too. I wouldn't have said green, but my eyes were squinting in the sun.🤣
July 16, 20241 yr Author Just checked DVLA website, and it's registered as green, so it's my eyes that were up the creak. 😁. And it states that it has the 3.6 engine.
July 16, 20241 yr Author Might not be a bad idea that. And get prescription sunglasses, that way I can see in the sunshine, when it comes back. 😄😎 Edited July 16, 20241 yr by AndyR Spelling mistake
