I'd argue all the folks on here that track their cars can afford to maintain them well. That's to say, correct service intervals, more oil changes than recommended / needed. They're driven hard but cherished cars. Often warrantied.
You'll find other cars in the mkt that some guys have spent 95% of their available funds on the car itself, don't track it, but just run it as a road car "coz it's cool innit bruv". No warranty, skip service intervals and whilst may seem good value with low miles, might often not be as they are not cherished.

Thanks, this kind of confirms what I was getting at (I am definitely not suggesting that just because a car is regularly tracked it must be shagged!!).
Please correct me if I misunderstand you, but I think you're saying that the worst thing to do to a CSL is skimp on servicing and repairs, and simple hard track driving is not a problem provided the servicing and repairs are taken care of?
As a prospective buyer, are there any obvious signs of neglect to look out for (other than what is obvious from the service history), or is it just an overall impression you get from its appearance etc?
PS although I am not looking to buy one for the purpose of track use, I would love to try that and with a CSL it would be rude not to!
Thanks
