new member looking for Car

LolaChris · 04-03-2015, 03:13 PM

Hi there, just joined as i'm looking to buy a car potentially.
a friend has an M3CSL and i'm tempted to join the fun.

i'm need to sell my Lola T70 replica first but hopefully will have cash waiting in May/June

going to start browsing the forum tonight to learn a little more, ideally i'm looking for a summer toy which i can keep the mileage down on and the value good if not increasing!

my other toys are a lotus sunbeam and a ducati 748sps.

if there are any kind/generous souls in the yorkshire area who might be willing to show a prospective buyer around their car and possibly give a passenger ride, there would be beer/petrol tokens around i'm sure.

nice to meet you all.

Its on my photobucket account and in pistonheads classifieds at present. 500bhp and 900kg :-)
Plan is to go back to something quick ish which will do the odd trackday without wilting but also be good for weekend fun in Derbyshire and further afield

Welcome mate,good luck with your search 👍

at present i have two definite choices i need to get my head round which one to go for, its an M3 CSL or classic shape 911 (poss 993 or 964) with a top budget of £40k max. the metallic grey CSL is really looking good for what i would like to do, summer runs and the odd trackday, being road driven to and from.

is there anywhere specifically to look for CSL's other than here and Pistonheads?
they appear to be as rare for sale as my Sunbeam lotus was!
