The Carlton was sold in two distinct generations between 1978 and 1994, making it a long‑standing presence in Vauxhall’s executive‑car lineup.
First Generation – Carlton Mk I (1978‑1986)
The initial version, known as the Carlton Mk I, was produced from its launch in 1978 until 1986, marking the first half of the model’s history.
Rare and Collectible – Limited Production in the Early ’90s
A later version of the Carlton was priced at £48,000 in 1990, with production running from 1990 to 1992 and totaling roughly 950 units. Today the car is considered rare, and owners often note the difficulty of finding replacement parts, which adds to its collector appeal.
