Sunbar ◊ 2009-05-09 21:36	A Rover 800 is a possibility. The black 'A' pillar is the only thing that I think could confirm it. Not common on white Vauxhalls but blacked out on some Rover 800 cars. Also the Rover 800 panel form looks to be there, high-lighted by the 'snow' possibly. Door mirror, side trim and 'B' pillar all look like both Vauxhall and Rover as does the door handle. Not 100% conclusive but Rover 800 I think.

hazzard ◊ 2011-04-15 19:22	On which Opel is the Carlton based on?
Sandie ◊ 2011-04-15 19:25	Omega [A]. There was Carltons with body coloured mirrors it would seem so I was wrong there but I still think this is a Rover 800.
Lateef ◊ 2011-04-15 19:28	It was also based on the Rekord [E], not the one pictured above, however. I think the 1979-82 Carlton is the best looking car of the late 70s / early 80s.
