There was a thread about this on MIG, not an original LC apparently.

That to me isn't a LC engine, and the HPi info is confusing.
BLACK VAUXHALL CARLTON GSI Yes Yes
ENGINE SIZE 3600 cc
TRANSMISSION 5 Speed Manual Petrol
GSi's are 3.0 5 speed, but the LC is 3.6 6 speed. Contradicting information

the engine bay pics look very Lotus Carlton to me
but yes, the info on the HPi check is a bit off!
