My fist look at a CSL was in BMW in Glasgow
I thought if I had that I would paint the roof the same as the car
6 Months later the lad that owned Crail Raceway had 1 and offered to take me a blast in it Hell yea
That was it i wanted a CSL but they were 60K and out my budget
When they were 2 years old one was on eBay when it ended i sent the lad an email and we agreed on 32k for the car it was SG and 21,000 miles 1 owner
flew to Gatwick seen the car and bought it the drive home was fantastic.
Then the next morning off to Florida for 4 weeks i was thinking CSL all that holiday.
I sold it thinking I wanted a change drove a few cars but nothing was a CSL so the hunt for no 2 was on.
I found another CSL 2 years old up for £28,000 so booked flights to Gatwick again.
This car when i got there had had some work on the rear quarter panel I said to the wife I cant pay 28k for this it had a quarter replaced
Pulled up the carpet and the boot was full of water ( run a mile ) not me I offered him 21k for it
A short time later i was driving it home it was the P1 club car that was owned by Damon hill
It had an off and the quarter was replaced but they had not sealed the wheel arch wheel.
Drove hone and would you believe it off to Florida for 4 weeks the next day
So off to my m8s body shop and the next day all sorted.
2 years later I sold it thinking its a lot off cash for a E46 M3 when they were 11k at the time
I sold it for 28k to a friend who wanted it to do the ring and SPA with it he used it for many track days then traded it in for a GT3 he got 28k trade in LOL
I bought a 1 owner M3 E46 buy was i wrong nothing like the CSL sold it for a small profit in 5 days.
The CSL hunt was on again. I posted a wanted add for a CSL and I was contacted by a lad from Lincoln who had a SB csl from new and was thinking about selling
We did the deal and I drove down and bought it,
Had it for 2 years and need the funds so I sold it to my m8 he had it 2 years and did 1,000 miles in it.
I told him if he was ever selling it give me a shout so he did and i bought it back.
I had it another 2 years and prices were on the UP so I thought its time to move on and I sold it.
The I replaced it with the 1M coupe.
Hope i did not bore you too much
