*Rare Road Cars**
🇬🇧 Vauxhall Senator 3.0i 24v
Hard to believe there are only 8 licensed and 35 SORN in the UK as of 2026. Not sure if this would be 💯 correct 🤔
A car which always looked good unless it was behind you with flashing blue lights. 😇
When saloons ruled the roads.
Fantastic to see one which looks in very good condition.

The Lotus Carlton (also known as the Lotus Omega in mainland Europe) is an iconic high-performance sports saloon produced between 1990 and 1992.
A collaboration between Lotus and General Motors (which owned both Lotus and Vauxhall/Opel at the time), it was designed to be the fastest four-door production car in the world.
It’s stated at its release, the Lotus Carlton’s performance was so significant that it sparked controversy in the UK Parliament regarding whether such a fast car should even be legal for road use. 🤦🏻
The car started life as a standard Vauxhall Carlton GSi (Opel Omega 3000) before being shipped to the Lotus factory in Hethel, Norfolk, for a total transformation

@JewsFightBack The BBC gave her mother a puff piece on BBC London with an interview in their large home in Southgate. It concerned Zoe being in prison without trial. At no point were her activities mentioned nor did the BBC indicate that her mother is equally extreme.
🚨 MEET ZOE ROGERS 🚨
22.
Bristol, UK.
She stood in court and claimed she “saved innocent lives.”
Here’s what that looked like:
August 6, 2024.
3AM.
A van smashed through the gates of a weapons facility in Bristol.
Drones and equipment smashed with sledgehammers.
Red paint everywhere.
Then police arrived.
One of her comrades struck a female Sergeant in the back with a sledgehammer, fracturing her spine.
That's the “activism” Zoe Rogers is proud of.
Then she stood in court and congratulated herself.
“I can say with absolute certainty that this is the best thing I’ve ever done…”
“I’m proud…”
No, Zoe.
You are not a hero.
You are not a freedom fighter.
You’re standing on a woman’s fractured spine and calling it courage.
Shameful.
@JagmansM I agree but the only thing I would change is the tucked in wheels in relation to the arches. I know it was a style at that time however if I had one I would have to change it. Sorry it that offends.
So taxing my 2015 Jaguar Project 7 for 12 months costs £790 but taxing my 2018 Project 8 for 12 months costs £200.
Same engine and both EU6 compliant, just 3 years newer but road tax is 4x the cost. Where’s the logic in that?
@Kristinartz Yes. We all had boring but practical coats and we had boring but practical shoes. No trainers as we all had the same plimsoles. No one would steal anyone’s stuff because they had the same boring stuff. School food wasn’t brilliant back then but was edible.
@Janeretires Ah yes, 6k of a population of 70million, on a platform known to lean to the right/far right due to a lack of restriction on certain subjects. What a victory....
Triumph. A forgotten brand? Confined to the automotive history books. What went wrong? Just another casualty of the British car industry. A sad loss in my view. Triumph was up there in the 60s & 70s. Not forgetting the Stag. The TR7 for me was a poor replacement in circa 1976.
@reniac172987@de_havas The stag engines had a problem with overheating. Cured by fitting a larger radiator and using modern coolants so the water galley ways don’t block.
@de_havas I think the TR5 was the peak and, sadly, the ugly TR7 the nadir. 2.5pi mk1 was good. Stag’s engine could be problematic but it was a lovely car otherwise (think I’d sort one rather than fit a Buick/Rover replacement). Del Lines Stag estates were great:
