Yes folks... you read this right... another fine example of one of UK supplied 422 units is leaving our shores for a new life abroad.
Gerry aka "Beamer" from Auckland N.Z. is DU**VAYs new owner. He's a true gentleman, a lifelong BMW fanatic and I wish him many happy CSL miles in the very near future (about 7 weeks) Hopefully he'll be along soon to fully introduce himself and fill in the blanks however in the meantime here are some of the last pix I took of DU**VAY during his last UK Inspection Service (which I included as part of the sale) and further pix of his final TLC session before being dropped off at the shipping handlers on Thursday.
By far DU**VAY was the best, most enjoyable, visceral and entertaining car I've ever owned  without a shadow of a doubt BMWs 'M' divisions greatest hit  and will be dearly missed  Farewell Cecil and safe sailing the high seas. |
Thanks for the kind words Matt, you have been fantastic to deal with, even though we are half a world apart. Dealing with you and your help to do all the bits at your end was easier than buying Cecil from the dealer down the road. I will be a regular on this site, hopefully posting photos of Cecil romping through our fabulous scenery here in New Zealand, I can't wait for "MOL Beacon" the big container ship to arrive with Cecil.
Any CSLR members planning a trip to NZ please contact me, there is always a bed at our place by the sea, down under.
Cheers,
Gerry.
