1982 MK1 Vauxhall Carlton Tax Result

[Sir Oinksalot]

As promised here are some pics of my new ride. Picked it up from Roy (top man) in Manchester and got it home to North Shropshire. So hard to find these, well happy ;D







As soon as I get her back on the road I will drive up and down Billys/Cavmad/Bingos/whatever next......street just to rub it in (just kidding mate) ;D

Well clean for £250!!!!! ;D

[Sir Oinksalot]

Encino gave me a load of service history and bills, so many I am still wading through them. There was no expense spared maintaining it. It was bought new by the MD of Coombs Vauxhall main agents of St Leonords and had every extra thrown on Being one made in the last 8 months of MK1 production it has the Commodore interior!

[Sir Oinksalot]

Body work is in amazing condition, doors and sills like new. The only thing I need is going to be a new battery and tyres as far as I can see

[Harold Ramp Bumface Fandango]

It's a thing of beauty Shaun, really jealous but I know it's gone to a good home with you mate. The interior reminds me of sitting in one in a showroom years back when they were new with my dad.
What size tyres are on it mate, I'm guessing something like 175/14s?

^^ I haven't even cleaned it yet, should come up smashing. Just need to flat off the rear of the roof as the paint has gone there but all in all its survived well

[Lankytim]

[Sir Oinksalot]

Cheers guys I have been looking around and there is very little in the way of Carlton/Viceroy nowadays

[Sir Oinksalot]

Tried to tax her on Saturday but the Post Office wouldn't have any of it Because the V5 was mislaid I have to send my V62 off to Swansea with my £25, wait for my new V5 and only at that point can I tax the old girl

[Sir Oinksalot]

Thought I would chance my arm at trying to tax her at my local DVLA office in Shrewsbury, and guess what, they did ;D They were very helpfull checking all the paperwork and making sure I was who I said I was and sent off the forms for me. Worth the extra £25 charge. There is a God! Don't have to wait weeks now and I can drive and enjoy ;D
