Hi all,

First post but long time lurker lol!

Anybody know the car for sale here?

https://www.classiccarshop.co.uk/hom...ean/bmw-m3-csl

Looks good and priced about right.

Terrible advert and the seller seems a little reluctant to give details on email and i don't really want to have a phone conversation or a viewing if it doesn't stack up.
Mileage doesn't bother me as long as its got the history and all the "jobs" have been done.

When asked if its had RACP done and any engine work eg head gasket, Vanos, bearings i'm told the boot floor and engine etc. is in A1 condition, best hes ever seen, and he's had several low mileage cars. Not actually what i asked.
But then it's described as Dolphin Grey, they only come in 2 colours so hard to get wrong for somebody who has had several, No?
Also listed as manual.

Full BMWSH no specialists, which i see as a negative, i can see AP brakes, when i ask if any mods or extras he doesn't answer the question.

Seller then tells me it was PX'd by a very wealthy client against a very expensive 911, (not sure why he would think that is relevant and not tell me about the history??)! and it stands him at £35k

All in all looks nice but distant alarm bells are ringing, and the seller comes across as pushy he also says will go into auction if not sold within 10 days with a £35k reserve.

What do you guys think?

Cheers

Andy
