He seems like a COOL dude with impeccable taste in cars :beer: Not too shabby on two wheels either :whistle:

The way my engine is going mate ... you will come past me !:bigcry:

he did it

I hope he's not saying " Merda !!! Spero che questo non è più veloce allora il mio nuovo CSL " :hahaha: :whistle:

Got the options list for the car does anyone know if option
231 Deletion VMax Down Control is proof the car is unrestricted???

Yes, it's unrestricted :thumbs:

Just texted Vale and he says that he'll only join in if he can go front of the Man Train with Glendog just behind!:bigcry:

sweet:drool:

I wouldn't worry about the top speed limiter, it's not even run in yet lol :thumbs:

Yes good point I was thinking about the run in bit might have to start from scratch.

Once I get all the fluids done and any computer upgrades done I'll probabaly invest in another set of rims with "normal" road tyres and keep the originals in case I display the car sometime. Won't cry if I kerb them that way!!!!

It's good to know you are going to drive it.

Always going to drive it but not a daily of course and I have it insured on the basis of less than 2500km per year.

We have "historic Plate" registration which means you can register the car cheaply but can only drive to car club event days, club meetings, repair shops etc.

Not sure I'll do that as you can't take it out for a spin when you feel like it:drool:

:thumbs: Superb purchase!!!

Good to see CSL prices are still strong across the Tasman :supz: Might just have to send mine over if I ever sell it :hahaha:

This is a unique circumstance, buyer wanted a premium for the the fact its a new car and I was happy to pay a premium, average price is a little above half original price for cars that have done 20,000km or so.

Not many to get a guide on as only 24 were delivered and at least 2 have gone to god.

waiting for the pics......cmon....;)

Seems like I have the whole world awake and wondering where are the pics. Some are even suggesting this is a hoax I had posted on M3 site before being re directed here.

Its not a hoax the car exists I have paid a depsoit but sadly the original books and keys could not be located and I refused to take delivery until that has happened. They were located late Friday but need to be couried to where the car is (car in one state, Victoria, books in another state , South Australia) so this means no car till Monday afternoon (Aust time).:banghead:

I do hope you can survive till then.

Have a good weekend

im waiting........................................... .............................;)

Aren't you missing the point Alex?

Pip :whistle:

and hopefully tomorrow I can deliver, camera is charged and providing the courier company does what it is supposed to do then in about 22 hrs you will have all the pics you need, even from underneath hopefully.

Well I did get the car today but very late today unfortunately so the best I can do is this little teaser until tomorrow.

First thing I did was read the running in instructions on the window!!!

Wow, glad it finally happened for you :thumbs:

:drool: look forward to seeing more pix

As a matter of interest, what price does an average mile (40k) CSL fetch in Oz?

I am planning to move to Queensland at the end of the year and plan to import the CSL with me. I don`t really want to leave it behind.

I do not plan to sell it, but it would be good to know it`s approx. value?

Jon

+1:whistle:

I've got a fair idea what it may look like ;) :thumbs:

Lol, indeed

Still a great find though!

Hmm might have some bad news for you re the import.......you can't and then get it registered. You can drive it on the track but thats it or at least thats how I understand it to be....I'll do some checking on the DOTARS web site for you.

As to pricing if you can find one, we only got 24 cars out here, I would say around the $110k Aussie or around the $50k pound mark. yes more expensive than in the UK for sure but of course no use if it can't be registered!!!!!

Yes its true you know what they look like here is mine as I received it yesterday it is brand new with the exception of a little dust on the suspension and in the engine bay

Brand spanking new :thumbs:

Stand by for a flood of pics in the next 2 hrs. Requests taken???

Here we go

and again

:thumbs: nice snaps, wish mine looked like that :smt055

and more

Whats the best way to jack these cars up. Is there a special tool designed by a clever someone that fits in the jacking point and that a trolley jack will work with????

If so where do I get it and how much??

Thanks

What like this

Attachment 2133


I made it to fit the jacking point under the car out of a bit of mild steel

Love seeing the pics :thumbs:

You can get these....

I was going to order one myself :whistle:

You will need a low entry jack.

I previously owned a thing called a Walkinshaw Group A Commodore (Holden(GMH) V8 with help from Tom Walkinshaw it had a lip that is lower than the CSL and further in front so I made some 2 step ramps so getting it off the ground is no issue but didn't want to try the up in the air bit till I had a better jacking method.

My trolley jack has a round top which hopefully the part mentioned is bigger then all will be good...otherwise a new trolley jack with a flat plate is required it seems.

Good old Google I found these also
