I presume you're referring to my immaculate Cecil :smt055 ;) and no it didn't sell yet :whistle: as I wouldn't budge of my asking price, having refused offers of £35K, £38K & £39K point blank.
BTW my little "Garage Queen" :gayfight: is currently valued with my insurers (Classic Line) at (£42K) :smokin: and I would struggle to find another SG in the equivalent condition and impeccable provenance of mine at that price, regardless of mileage.

And THAT is the exact way id sell mine also. (If it were for sale)
Price it on the high side, if it sells great :beer:. If it doesn't go you still have a car that you love tucked up in the garage for a nice weekend blast :smokin:

Do you track it, I use Competition Car Insurance they give you track day cover too. :thumbs:
Mines not on a value one only done 21k not sure what its worth.

Mines done 21k too, insurance is due next month with CCI, I'm going to get a valuation from Munich legends (£35) and all you do is send them loads of photos

if today your car is a total loss .. go out tomorrow to buy an exact replacement , how much would you have to pay ?

Could you within the next 2 months find & buy an 86K CSL in nice condition for £35K ? I think you'd struggle

Top advice from "oop north"

Classic Line are pretty accommodating on agreed values

I'm due for renewal in March and will be after a considerable hyke in agreed value.

Just agreed my 84k miler for 42k with Classicline ;)

'Twas 32k 12 months ago

:hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

Went with Classicline in the end. Agreed value of £40k.

The car came back from Redish yesterday and I took it for a final, pre-hibernation run this morning. What a special car the CSL is. Hope I never have cause to use the insurance in anger.

What was the work you had done & how was the Reddish experience?

I had fair bit of work done but to summarise the major work.

Extended rear end strip down. So everything out to, and including, the wheel arches cleaned up and all corrosion taken care of. Strengthening plates fitted and BMW structural foam injected. Rear end re-painted & undersealed.

Rear end reassembled with powder subframe, new diff & subframe bushes. New rear brake lines. New drive line coupling bush plus any joints with play (front or rear) replaced.

My undercarriage now looks like this.

I can't fault the Redish experience. They treat your car like it's their own and that's the best compliment I can give. They stay in constant contact, feed you plenty of pictures and do great quality work.

I know what BMW charge to do just the boot floor and the Redish route gets you far more for the same money. Can't recommend them enough. The hardest thing is deciding where to tell them to stop.
