2002 CSL Prototype

[LeinsCSL]

Not sure if this has been posted before, but just been reading through an old copy of Autocar I have and found the original review by Chris Harris of the prototype

Couldn't find the article on-line, but here's the AutoExpress one. Although it's one of the other 5 prototypes, as Harris drove "4045", pictured below

Not sure what the colour is as doesn't look like SG. Also, they seem to differ from the production models in the following ways:

- no M-trak
- half-leather buckets (made of CF?)
- CF bonnet?
- no integrated "duck-tail" boot

Good find mate THANX for sharing.
IIRC the CSL pre-launch prototype cars @ the Nurburgring F1 GP circuit were mostly, if not all, that colour... "Stahlgrau" I think.

does that manual climate control panel work w/cars that have the digital one?

i'd love to have a manual climate control for some odd reason.

That's NOT manual climate control or even basic Air Con... it's NO Climate Control or Air Con of any kind, bare bones, option less car with "Old Skool" ventilation.
