Offered here is my 1993 carlton DIAMOND estate.
High spec runout model of the popular carlton range.
2 LITRE, 4 CYL, MANUAL
One owner most of its life. Been maintained by their mechanic son. Receipts for various things.
GOOD BITS:
*Arm chair like ride... It really is an unbelievably comfortable car.
*great for towing, Has twin electrics towbar which work.
*air assist rear shocks which help with the above.
*electric windows
*electric sunroof
*central locking
*working factory alarm
*desireable bolstered leather (fronts heated)
*absolutely massive load space. Itll take a double mattress (it has done)
*factory vauxhall dog guard
*rollout load bay cover.
*loads of money spent in last year on :
- tie rods
-drop links
-new rear discs, pads handbrake shoes and cables.
- new exhaust silencers
-fully serviced just after I bought it in august inc plugs, leads, rotor, dizzy cap, oil and filter then oil and filter change again just before christmas.
*new windscreen just before I bought it
*new subframe bushes in the rear just before I bought it.
BAD POINTS:
*Some parking dings a couple of rusty patches on front two doors.
*breather pipe weeps a little bit at the base so drips a little oil every now and then. Simply needs a new gasket putting on but I havnt had time too since noticeing due to work.. (two 10mm bolts with great access and its done)
*boot struts are a bit lazy in the cold. But in warm weather they work fine. (i can provide stick for the cold winter though) ;D
To conclude its been the best car ive had. Its ultra reliable. Parts are cheap and easy to get still. Will carry most things and tow everything else..
Regrettable sale , But simply doesnt get used and I cant justify insuring it again this year for it just to be used every now and then...
