Unbelievable LOTUS CARLTON Sat For Over 30 YEARS | IMSTOKZE 🇬🇧 

Seen this lotus Carlton all over the car groups on FB mate so you're not the first or last. Crazy leaving it on the damp ground like that knowing what it is just doesn't make sense at all.. crazy just crazy. Some great cars there mate

Lotus Carlton were amazing cars and great video as always

best get away car ever even questions were asked in the houses of Parliament because of its speed

It's unreal to have a Lotus Carlton, and then it's unreal to leave it outside for the elements to attack the old girl! Even a car cover is better than nothing, what a rare machine 2 find!!

Nice set of scales in the car you can guess the guys profession, Reading comments is funny people get so passionate about parked old cars they even try stealing them clowns

I GUARANTEE YOU now its going to stolen 😢 #lotus

Carlton owner needs help in the brain department 😢

No way it's been there 30 years Looks looked after to me. Set up.

Something not sitting right here... Does not look 30 years, looks more like a few years. Ive had cars sat for a year in worse state than that... Plate comes back to a datsun. Lotus badge replaced with Vauxhall badge..? Owner wont sell or part with it, seems all dodgy, maybe just me...

No Lotus badge on the front. Only on the front wings… People are strange creatures! Why oh why wouldn’t he cash-in? He’s clearly living in the fantasy that he’ll one-day get around to it. But he won’t. There’s a Lotus Elan near me in exactly the same situation.

KAL 11C is the plate off the white Datsun infront of it.

Reconfigured plates and mini electronic scales inside, who would own a car like this?

There's no way that has been there for years and that bit of grass in the front light has been put there 30 years ish sat there it would be worst state then that come on

i think its as dodgy as fuck and the colour and the badge on the front and why would you leave a £50k to £100k car sat there when you live in a shit hole but great find stu

Short maybe, amazing definitely. The Cavalier was incredible, so so rare! But then the Lotus Carlton!!! 🤤

Such a shame the Lotus Carlton has been left unloved for 30 years. Lol I bet 40RA has been said many times over the years when people have walked past it.

That is an absolute crime and a shame to leave that abandoned for so long. That should be saved and restored to its glory and I wouldn’t care how much it takes to restore it.

I'd be shocked if that LC is still salvageable after years being sat in long damp grass. The mans a fool.

That’s bloody criminal leaving a Lotus Carlton to rot like that 😢

Near me someone has a jaguar xjs rotting away, and someone else has some moldy old Daimlers sat on their driveway

I wonder if the cavalier has a sri130 engine in it .. don't remember them making an estate version.... done some googleing.. its a replica running a 16v red top . Was sold in 2021 threw Ebay

That reg plate on lotus Carlton comes back as a nissan bluebird

Wow a Lotus Carlton. Don't view it. Don't film it. Won't sell it. Okay. But at least get out of the weeds and on blocks to save it.

Calling bollocks here, that would of been lifted years ago

Id love to get my hands on that vauxhall Carlton and bring it back to its former glory man oh yes ✨👌✨👍👍👍

That as false plates.it comes back. To a datsun sunny

There is currently a totally immaculate 1992 Lotus Carlton with 76,941 miles advertised on Ebay. Coming up for auction soon, the asking price is £85,000.

Hey Stu , don't worry , as I've said before we all love your content and how you work hard to bring it to us while we just sit/lie here enjoying it . Massive thanks 👊. But WOW Lotus Carleton !!! Honestly cannot believe it's been sat there that long . ❤❤❤

Guy with the LC stuck as a make shift greenhouse is he an inmate a Broadmoor? Why not either restore it or let someone else give it some TLC and enjoy it?

Cant believe an empty head would have a Lotus Carlton on his drive in the open.

Effort on false plates Kel 11c Datsun bluebird 😅

Can I buy your car? No it's not for sale. Any plans to get it back on the road? No, it's not for sale. So you're going to let it rot beyond repair rather than sell it and let it live again? Yes.

That looks like a TVR Grantura behind the morris.

WTF doesn’t he just sell the bloody car it will be worth nothing if it lies there much longer some people would give their right arm to own that Carlton

40RA was found in a swamp/canal shortly after it was stolen…then it was written off… the original owner kept the licence plate and now has it back on an another Lotus Carlton.

That is worth money sat there. Why wouldn't the owner want to make the cash.. Clear the space and also stop people rocking up and hanging around... Or get car sos on board to restore it

I owned 1 of those..........Cavalier Estates, it was rare as hens teeth then and had barely 20k on the clock in 2002, was same as this one. Sadly didnt have a Carlton, although made up for it by having a Vectra. Short but sweet Stu, such a shame its sat rotting and nobody os doing anything about it. Even if the chap that owns it hasnt the time, Im sure thiers plenty of people out there, yourself included Stu, that would love to get involved, bring it back out on the road for the chap to enjoy once again before it gets past saving and becomes a mere memory and a pile of rust.

You them nissans and that cav estate is rare and a lotus Carlton oh my god sat there I've only been close to one years ago in Evesham and that got nicked I used to live in the same village every one knows it they are rare and expensive well if he doesn't want it all over utube then move it and garage it 30 years just sat rotting on he's drive

the owner of calton is waist off space he will sit there and watch it rot till its nothing but powder and weeds rather than sell it and let it become a great car for someone in future,, i hate car owners who do that its just spite

That reg on the Carlton is registered to a Nissan Bluebird SSS....? Strange that...

You should have grabbed a quick snap of the Vin Plate on the Carlton to find out it's original reg. Possibly stolen as it's on false plates and probably the reason the owner wants it kept off the internet and doesn't like people looking at it.

😢brought a tear to my eye that carlton And the cavalier 130 estate 😢

Why would the owner not just sell it to someone who would restore it? Such a shame

team traction was in Canterbury at the end of Sturry road behind a petrol station

Carltons getting bonus balled at £1000 a ticket.

thats the way the cookie crubles, in the world of yt clout.

That old white bluebird 2 door in front of the carlton was proper rare too!! 😮

How did this beast not get stolen!

He's lucky it's still there no way na 💯💔 🤦🏾‍♂️

Nooooo, it should be illegal to abandon one of them...life in prison! ;)

...and I thought my Peugeot RCZ mk2 from my late father was sitting there for a few months because I'm banned and hurting and can't sell for a reasons Johnny entitled foreigner is hurting

You need to visit me and Jeff in South Wales. Mainly American stuff but lots of rust and history

that's got to go to a good home.... sacrilege to be left there.

😢…

That's a unbelievable find. There is a 4k mile Lotus Carlton up for £120k at the moment. That looks cheap as the condition is mint. Unreal if it's the real deal. Not unique though as there are two more in similar circumstances.

No way, it's a setup.

Another brilliant video Stu

How the hell has that sat there untouched Mental!

What a crying shame to leave the car like that Stu. It needs to be restored before it’s too late. When I had my Sapphire Cosworth in the 90s, I tried keeping up with one from our village but with nearly twice the power of mine it was difficult 😉. Proper 90s supercar 👍🏼

Is that a SRI 130 estate Rare as fcuk if it is

from the PUBLIC foot path you could stand there filming the Carlton till it rots away there is nothing they can do if they dont like it move it cover it up mind you it wont be there much longer as its rotting away when the door was open you can see it rotting along the sill as the owner got a brain Imperial Green 1991 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton Mileage: 62000 Sold £84,000 (limited edition number 0214g)

Dammmm now that is a waste !! I've worked on a couple of these over the years and what cars they are. When vauxhall took the absolute piss and made some proper motors 😍. How's it still got all its bits minus the badge... what an absolute shame......

Where abouts was it in UK?

Is it on google earth street view? So the law on public photography allows us to film and post anything we can see from public

How Ya Stu LC 😢 Shame To See It Rotten Away Like It Is - The Cavi Estate A Great Find - No Probs If No Sunday Vid - The Wait Will Be Worth It Next Weekend Take Care Bud & Stay Safe Out There 😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍

Don't get it...why having a Vauxhall badge , on a Lotus ? The Lotus Omega, never had a Opel badge . Did these 343 cars, sell from the Vauxhall dealers ?

Thanks for your work mate

Scam. The reg is a white Nissan Bluebird - the same as the one parked outside.

I will never understand the bone headed stubbornness of owners of these incredibly rare cars that are happy to have them return to the earth. Lotus Carltons have always been sought after, why not look after it? Even if it's kept in a garage undercover. Surely better than sat on damp ground completely open to the elements.

What a complete waste and pointless thing to do keeping it. What's with all precious being stopped filming. Clearly cant be that bothered if he's left it like that for years in a knackered state.

Crap Porsche more like.

Great video... This car has been shown numerous times on various forums... 1st time seen a video of this car...front badge would have been vauxhall not lotus.... Someone probably nabbed it before.... Surprised no one has taken any parts off it...

Sad thing here is the owner doesnt have the capability to restore such a rare car. Eventually it will be too far gone to save. Such a shame.

Mk 2 Cavalier estate. I remember those those things beating up and down the M1. Not many left that didn't rot away. Nice one. I prefer seeing the cars that I could afford to buy...be it well used 😎

There’s a lotus Carlton with 36000 miles on auto trader for £99,995

I park by that lotus when I go to the Villa. Not moved in years… photoed it a few times and put it on various FB groups. The owner of it has replied a couple of times.

Short and sweet, the cav was sick

I feel bad for that Lotus mate. 😢 Ooohhhh the Nissan Blue Bird Turbo wow 😮 that is ancient man yea yea ☝️👍👍👍😎😎😎

The mk 2 cav estate is not a sri 130 Its just been made to look like one Vauxhall never made one

Short but sweet Stu with some incredible finds and some intriguing hidden gems. Is that building for sale? If so is that a way in to record the inside of the garage? Keep doing what you do Stu because even short and sweet is strong content.👍😎

Thar Carlton is in good condition if ir has been there for 30 years, did you ask the son why his dad parkewd it up?

Saw a mint lotus carlton last week, took a pic but can't send on here, it was k reg in excellent condition, probably restored but lovely car

ohh mate stokze an absolutely brilliant vid mate it doesn't matter how short the vid is it's about what's on the vid and that lotus carlton and the nissans and cavalier est is totally with it, shame that you could get in that lock up buts ok, that carlton should not be left sitting there it will attract attention i mean really come on, being left there like that for all them years,, i've had 3 different model of carlton back when i was younger not all at once haha,, the best one i had was a carlton diplomat lovely car it was,, if they don't like people stopping and looking at the car then they should move it, i mean really why are you leaving a car like that there anyway,, but anyway stokze keep doing what your doing my fav car channel on y tube thanks mate

Didnt people make Lotus Carlton Replicas in the 90s?.....

Why do people let these cars rot??!!!....Just give them to a car club or something

I don't know what gets into peoples heads when they leave an iconic Lotus Carlton to rot into the ground as they obviously do not have the funds to restore it themselves and then refuse to sell it to a Lotus Carlton enthusiast who will restore it spending £££ and give it a new lease of life! 🤬

A lotus carlton just left rotting so much so that it'll eventually be too far gone. Some ppl just amaze me 😢

It’s so upsetting to see a lotus Carlton untouched for these years it’s probably to gone to go back on the road now to

i just cannot understand some people that lotus carlton just been left to rot what a mad world has i always say people must have money to burn great find mate keep up the good work 🚐🚐🚐

Would love to see inside the workshop - looks like there are real barn finds inside! Well done finding the Lotus Carlton - strange setup. Great video - short but sweet 👍👍

I wonder why there is a set of big scales sitting on the passengers side floor 😂 hmmmm 😅

That is such a shame about the Carlton stu wow The Vauxhall wagon I had the equivalent Australian version in the 90s wow

wow the S8 i love it .ill pay him 10 grand today ,but its getting nicked for sure .

Criminal having that car parked like that rusting away absolutely criminal

The man has a lot of money because I know someone offered him £30k cash for it as it sits and he said no thanks.

*Missing cat* 😅

Hey buddy that's the best thought to have chosen the footage of that Lotus Carlton was absolutely amazing well done fella love your content as always brother 😮

surprised its not got a load of tickets, blocking the pavement.

Great finds that bluebird Infront of the carlton is a rare thing , 910 sss coupe a friend of mine had 2 of them

I've had a few Vauxhall's over the years but always wanted a Lotus Carlton. Great video Stu 🤜🤛
