Anyone here have a "bare bones" CSL?

[Duck360198]

I was just curious if anyone hear has a "Bare Bones" CSL or know of anyone who has one (not necessarily for sale, but have seen one..."

"Bare Bones" meaning a CSL that has NO xenons, NO air conditioning, and NO CD player. I would LOOOOOVE to see pictures.

Looks exactly the same as one with toys :whistle:

The headlights would be different without the projectors though. I'd be curious to see the radio delete. And what happens when you lose the AC? Are all the knobs gone? Are the grilles gone? That's why I'm kind of curious.

That would be it!!! FANTASTIC! So the vents would be for the circulated air so you can still get heat. Now if I could find one in RHD!!! :beer:

So let ask you guys this question:

If you have two CSLs that have the same mileage, same number of owners, same condition, which one will go for more? The bare bones or the optioned one?

[alexk]

Optioned one.
The bare bones is 20 kilos lighter...

depends what you want the car for?....if your going to use it then get one with options, if you looking for a long term future investment....then no options...all IMO:beer:

BTW i mine has a/c (not used very often) & CD and CUP wheels (which most have anyway)

dont bother with xenons, they add about 150kgs each :whistle:

In the future the optionless one may be more desireable to buyers, but most like creature comforts, most requests on here seem to want a/c, xenons, I used mine this year in the summer and had no issues, I dont use it much as I use my work van everyday then in the family bus of weekends. I did not miss the a/c one bit, i only tend to use ac in traffic queues in my other cars.

A real boffin/purist may want an optionless one, but the masses will desire creature comforts.

I was looking for a bare bone, and still miss A/C on the trips to Italy.:smokin:
Go for the optioned one.:thumbs:

It's a little bit more.

Radio incl. Speakers / 5,8kg - 7,1kg, depends on the Radio. A/C 19kg.
totally filled system. Xenon incl. sprayer 2,5kg. PDC 1,8kg.

It's not so much, but on the other side i still can keep my weight.:hahaha::hahaha:

[Duck360198]

Thanks for all the information you guys. Would you all be willing to keep an eye out for one for me??? I know to look on Pistonheads and eBay, but anywhere else I could look? How about German sites? I really want an RHD though.

Thanks again!

LHD CSLs are at a £10 000 premium :banghead: (at the moment) over the UK RHD CSL prices and there are some Europeans, buying RHD CSLs for import back to Europe. If I was in their shoes, I would do the same :thumbs:
