The Vauxhall Carlton, produced from 1987 to 1994, was a mid-size executive car that represented a significant step forward for Vauxhall in terms of quality, technology, and design. It was the first Vauxhall to be built on a platform shared with another manufacturer, in this case, the Opel Omega, its German counterpart. This collaboration resulted in a car that offered a level of refinement and engineering sophistication previously unseen in Vauxhall models. The Carlton was available in a range of body styles, including a four-door saloon, a five-door hatchback, and a five-door estate, catering to various needs and preferences.

Under the hood, the Carlton offered a diverse selection of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from the modest 1.8-liter petrol engine to the powerful 3.0-liter V6 petrol unit. The flagship Carlton GSi, equipped with a 2.0-liter 16-valve engine, was particularly notable for its performance and handling, offering a sporty driving experience. The Carlton was also a pioneer in its class for features like ABS, power steering, and air conditioning, becoming a symbol of Vauxhall’s ambition to compete with the established European automakers. The Carlton’s success was further cemented by its numerous awards and accolades, including the title of "Car of the Year" in 1987. It was a modern and sophisticated car that helped to elevate Vauxhall's image and reputation in the global automotive market.
