CSL at Auction

Anyone know the car, someone I know is considering it and wondered about the history.

I'm told it is a 6 owner car!!! Eeeeeek.

I'm not sure why people are hung up on the amount of owners... as long as its in good nick thats all that matters.

Wouldn't worry about owners to be honest as cars like these can change hands each year. Look how many have bought and sold on here in the last year...I am the 6th owners of mine and I've had no issues. Condition and history is what you need to go for.

I admit that a CSL might be bought by someone, not realising how hardcore they are and how it doesn't really suit them. However I would prefer not to have 6 owners in 25K miles. It could mean nothing, it could mean that it has been sold on fast. It also makes it harder to track down all the previous owners for an honest opinion of the car.

I would simply prefer less owners. I think most would say, if you had a choice between 2 CSLs, one of which had 2 owners, the other 6, they looked the same, had the same miles and had been checked over by an expert and been judged as good as eachother, you are going to choose the 2 owner one. Obvious really.

Mine has 6 previous owners and its spot in

I see your point over 6 owners in 25k but its often reflected in the price
