This red Mk1 Vauxhall Carlton S was first registered on 20th June 1983 as a main dealer demonstrator, and is showing only 19,286 miles on its odometer. Although we can’t verify this figure, it is supported by the MoT history as far back as 2005 when records were digitised. The 2nd keeper retained the car from 1984 to 2010, and it is now offered by its 4th keeper – a film company that has owned the car since April 2021. We're told it has been used for productions including White Gold, The Interceptor and Black Water, in which it served as Jude Law's car on-camera. 

Paperwork includes the current V5C, and MoT certificates covering 2013 to 2021. The car is well preserved overall, and features an attractive grey herringbone cloth interior. The last three inspections were all passed without advisories, but the latest expired in 2022. We are told it has remained in current use since then. (Being more than 40 years old, the Carlton is exempt from annual MoT testing.)
