Interesting little article showing Harry Metcalfe's (founder of Evo and apparently serial car purchaser) top five investment picks from 2010 and how they have done.

CSL is the last one and looks like it hasn't filled it's potential in comparison to the others.

its only really the F40 (which I think everyone knew was possibly going to rise ) & the GT3 that have made big jumps

I had the opportiunity of buying a 996 GT3 at the £35K mark, bought a 996 turbo instead as it was more suited to what I needed at the time ... I knew the GT3 was going to be the better buy as it would holds its value, never guessed it would rise as it has. Sold the turbo & bought the CSL .. so here'e hoping

At the moment the 996 Turbo seems to be gaining value quicker then the CSL Before I finally pulled the trigger on my CECIL back in '09 I toyed with the idea of a late 2003 Turbo but couldn't decide if I wanted a Manual or a Tiptronic as both seem to have their pros and cons. I tried a bit of "Man Maths" to see if I could have both (that's CSL & 996T) but The Boss put me straight with one simple 2 letter word that started with an N and ended with an O
I still fancy a bit of Turbo Pork

I had to scratch the itch and bought an 04 996 Turbo recently. Great car. I think the CSL is due a lift in price soon as anything comparable seems to have left it behind.

Another '04 996 turbo owner here, had it for 4.5 years, currently running about 670hp. It is massively quick but can't match the throttle response and sound of the CSL. The BMW just feels so much focussed and the performance is more usable. Great to have the choice.

as said, the Turbo is a great car ... but it misses that 'something' that the CSL or GT3 has. I never felt any kind of emotional atttachment to the Turbo.

Good article thanks for that . When you consider the car was £60,000 odd new in 2003 then the low mileage cars have plenty of room to appreciate if they are to catch the others up in price gains.
