LT Salon Car
Joomla template for luxury car showrooms: a colour book of paint chips by tier, cars on the floor, ordering a new car step by step and private viewings.
The Joomla version of this design is being rebuilt on the stack below. Until it is released, the download is the current version of LT Salon Car for Joomla.
Key features
LT Salon Car opens the colour book that sits on a showroom's specification desk, with paint chips grouped by tier. From there the pages cover cars on the floor by body style, ordering a car in your own colour, colour and trim, build slots and handover, private viewings, and aftercare and storage.
- The colour bookPaint chips grouped by tier carry their code, extra cost and added build time, with a ring on each colour that has a car in stock.
- Cars on the floorStock rows open with each car's paint chip, then model details, interior and an 'Ask about this car' link to the viewing form.
- Ordering and aftercareFive steps from specification to handover, build times per paint tier, plus pages for test drives, servicing collection and winter storage.
- Quickstart or template packageFree: template + one-page quickstart (the home page as a one-page website). Pro: full multi-page website like the demo (a full copy of the demo site, restored with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser). Or add the template to a Joomla site you already run.
- One-page website in every editionFree comes with a one-page quickstart: the home page sections on one scrolling page, with a menu that scrolls to them and highlights the current section. Pro's full quickstart has the same one-page version next to the multi-page site.
- Change it without codeColours, fonts, logo, header and footer are Helix Ultimate template options; page sections are edited in SP Page Builder Lite.

- Full quickstart (Pro)The full multi-page website like the demo: every page, the blog with sample posts, the contact form, menus and modules, plus the one-page version. In Pro Standard and Pro Unlimited; upload it to an empty folder and restore it with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser, then replace the sample texts and images.

What an AI assistant can do for a Joomla site
No AI writes into your Joomla site by itself. These are the honest options today; you stay in control of every change.
- AI assistant Free and Pro Ask the AI assistant on ltheme.com (the chat bubble) or Ask AI on doc.ltheme.com about installing and editing the template. Free help also comes through the contact form. Contact form
- AI help in ticket support Pro only Open a ticket and you get an instant AI-drafted answer; a person from our team follows up. Ticket support
- Texts for your pages Works with any AI assistant Ask an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to draft your page texts in your own words, then paste them into the SP Page Builder text editor and your Joomla articles.
- Small design changes Works with any AI assistant Describe the change and ask for CSS; paste it into Helix Ultimate's Custom Code tab and check the page before you save.
- AI kit WordPress version only The kit that lets an assistant edit pages safely (instructions, ready prompts, a checked import tool) exists for our WordPress themes only. Nothing in a Joomla site is changed by AI unless you paste it in. See the WordPress version

Questions
Is it only for luxury car dealers?
No. Classic car specialists, independent dealers and car storage or detailing businesses can adapt the stock and aftercare pages.
Do I need SP Page Builder Pro?
No. The pages use the free SP Page Builder Lite, with Convert Forms Free for the contact form; Helix Ultimate is free too.
Can customers pay online?
Not in this version. The shop pages are a product catalogue with example prices; each product links to the contact form (“Ask about this”).
Quickstart or template package: which one do I need?
For a new site take a quickstart: the Free one-page quickstart gives you the home page as a one-page website, the Pro quickstart the full multi-page website like the demo. Take the template package to restyle a Joomla site you already have; your content stays and the demo pages are not added.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free: template + one-page quickstart (the template package and the home page sections as a one-page website with a scroll menu); the footer credit stays, and help comes from the AI assistant and the contact form. Pro: full multi-page website like the demo: every page, sample posts and the contact form, the one-page version too, credit removal (put your own copyright line there), updates and ticket support. Pro Standard is for one website with a year of updates, Pro Unlimited for unlimited websites with lifetime updates.
What if it does not work for me?
If a Pro product has a problem we cannot fix, open a ticket within 30 days of your order and we refund it in full.
