Area Representative Andrew Gilbert Posted May 30, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted May 30, 2019 I remember seeing two on the A414 going towards Harlow from Hertford, as soon as you heard them they were gone in a flash.Here's one for sale, just check the asking price! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-Vauxhall-Lotus-Carlton-Turbo-Petrol-green-Manual/401746309648?hash=item5d89f23210:g:fb8AAOSwuAVcrLSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
