Don't like stretched tyres, very low profile tyres & I think a car CAN be too low. Perhaps I'm odd.

Congratulations on being one of the few people not to call your car a 'Mk 1'. That gets my goat that does.  ;D |

Hang on, a 1984 one looks JUST like that one, at most its a mk1 facelift or something?

Suppose it could be called facelift and pre-facelift yes. Bit odd though, They're as different as Cortina Mk4 & Mk5. But all four wings are different, front and rear panels, bonnet, bumpers, grille, headlights, indicators, rear lights, engines, mirrors, trim, interior and inumerable small changes. Also the whole engine/model options were totally different. And the main thing is, The later 'facelift' Carlton is the Opel Rekord with different badges. It's identical in every way. Whereas, on the earlier Mk1 Vauxhall were allowed to have some design input and there are many differences to the equivalent Rekord. The whole front end from the windscreen forward for example. Note also they managed to get the famous Vauxhall Flutes back on the bonnet as a last gasp of independence  Anywhoo, here's a 'Mk2':   |

Who doesn't? I was going round Newark autojumble looking for front wings after ours got pranged, all the Carlton wings marked up as MK1 were for the 1983-1986 version and not one of the dealers knew there was an earlier style wing!
