Carlton "fire Red" was a yellow base coat onto which a variable amount of red was sprayed. Originally sarted off as a red lacquer which later on seemed to morph into a red paint sort of fade..... Not one of their better ideas. Trying to hark back to acryllichrome lol

Interesting Holdsworth, I can see a chainstay bridge so it's not a "Classic".......

Has anyone come across a Yung Elite before? Looks like a Raleigh Shopper: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Folding-Bike-Yung-Elite-Blue-Retro/233282086444

Yung took out huge ads in the "Cycling" magazine back in 1978. Saw a few at trade shows but never one in the wild lol

Some of their posed action shots of bikes were hilarious

View attachment 473568 Just picked up a Carlton.

Paint is faded, needs new tyres, cables and bar tape, and the wheels will need a fair amount of Coke-and-foiling, but it should scrub up nicely.

I'm doing one of those up at the moment. Mine is/was a bit brighter red. I bought it like this:

I had it powder coated and bought a set of decals...

The colour is actually nearer to the original but taking it outsde on a brighter day makes it look lighter. This was earlier after the powder coat:
