Guacamole! That red Carlton is equally heavenly. I wonder what model it is?
Generally, I now think the production of Carltons never ceased - just moved somewhere down south?
Back in the 82 till about 85/6 I worked at "The Raleigh" world wide distribution centre located at Sinfin Derby . The warehouse was part of a former Army logistics base covering about 5 football pitches under one roof .Full of bicycles :!:
One small section of it was given over to old stock Carltons from the 1970 's that were quietly gathering dust .{Mike you would have loved it}.Models varied across the range . To have known then what I know now :facepalm:
