Sorry to say John but you have more chance finding the Holy Grail than one of those.

I understand that they were only available when the cars were purchased new from the dealers, some were given to customers when they collected their cars as a token.

Some dealer sold them as an exclusive accessory, but from other bits I've come across they were supposed to have been issued in the same way the plaque was, one per car.

Very occasionally they come up on ebay, but I haven't seen one in years in the UK anyway, and they go for ridiculous money £250 (for a keyring?)

I've got pretty much everything: original order, sales invoice, press pack, launch photographs, sales brochures, Dealer 1:18 model, etc. but no keyring.
It's probably the sort of thing that a first owner might retain as a keepsake/memento, and not pass on.

I think 'Roland' has one, picture occasionally featured in random images.

Good luck with your search - I've given up looking.

I have one in its box I paid about £50 odd on eBay about 3 years ago I will sell though for enough to buy another csl
In all seriousness these are like hens teeth I have only seen the one on eBay when it was easy to search,you used to type in csl and get about 50 odd specific items now it's like 4000 odd.

Yep, that's the fellow, lucky you

If I bought another Cesil it would mean that I would have to search for 2, so perhaps I wont bother
Being key-less obviously has its advantages, no need for obscure, NLA keyrings

I remember seeing these on eBay a few years ago but never bothered buying one of course, now I'm raging. I have a very nice carbon fibre one with a wee round M badge on it.
