Saw one of these in this spec on the road today and thought that's smart, but crikey they're pricey...but then LOOK AT THE DISCOUNT PEOPLE

I like it's busy-ness/technical look...although I can appreciate a calmer face too. Would like an IWC pilot but they are, in many ways, quite similar

What a line up outside my dad's old offices. Dad's Cortina on the right. He ended up with a twin of the white Carlton next, only in solid blue.

Some in-period shots of my favorite race car at Oulton Park. The mighty thunder saloon Carlton TS6000 which I understand is currently for sale!

Gorgeous thing

Going through old photos at my Dad's. My absolute fave of his company cars. I was super excited as a 9 year old when he got this, one of the very first Carlton CDs in the UK
