After many discussions with a local service station owner (old school family owned garage) i went to see this carlton.
He brought it new around 1979,did a sponsored cycle from swindon to the south coast and back,then used it for a year or so and retired it to the shed
Well it turns out he liked my enthusiasm,and has generously placed it in my caring hands,on the promise i dont sell it!
Do itreat it like my others? a bloody good clean and a grease up
or do i ruin it with a full respray restoration
I think i should leave be,but replace original parts
