Not a CSL owner yet but will be as soon as I manage to find a car that suits me.

Almost agreed a deal on one yesterday only to find out it was previously written off and repaired and not recorded.

I currently drive a '07 Audi S3 which i'm hoping to P/X so that pretty much rules private sales out (also have a 2001 S3 and a 1983 Mk1 Golf 16v G60)

Warm welcome Jordan,

May I recommend you give Iain a call at Pitstop ( http://www.pitstopautomotive.co.uk/ ).

He sold my Focus ST for me while I was away; I guess I might have sold it for £8.5K privately after waiting a while rather than the £8K but I didn't advertise it, didn't have to put up with tyre kickers and I could physically be there which limited me slightly! He may be able to get a good deal for your S3 enabling you to look at private CSLs or perhaps more. Finance deals have moved on recently (for the worse for the individual I agree) and I'm not sure what is being offered right now but he may be able to work things out for you. Say Kier with the CSL suggested you. He is a no-nonsense, not in your face type of bloke who will not make false promises or fail to deliver; well he was like that for me on the ST sale, the finance and although I sourced the car, he checked the recorded history etc.

Must be worth a try?

PS Morpheus has a black CSL for sale, I saw it 4-5 months ago and it is very nice. I din't go for it because I found 'mine' around the same time which was just perfect (3x sets of rims, full armourfending, APs , Intrax, silver hence faster etc).

His is very clean, looks great with full red APs on the black, not a Rockingham car (I checked) or had accident damage repair through BMW (I checked again). 32K miles, I'm guessing. Phil, are you out there??


Edit: Found his advert in the classifieds on here...

Hi guys, thank you for the very warm welcome.

Yes it was that car, the garage is sure it's a different car but the old reg matches so i'm giving that a wide birth.

One has just come up on PH at a garage called Driven Image which is fairly close to me (i'm in Nottinghamshire) - looks to be on the money for me.

I won't be needing finance, just a fair trade in price and i'm happy - thanks for all the suggestions.

I do love the S3, it's been good to me but I really need a car i'm not going to be tempted to modify as my Mk1 golf project is going to take up a hell of time and money.

Here's the S3

Nice looking S3, stick up some info and pics of your Mk1, always had a soft spot for them. would love one with a 20v engine in

[JordanH]

This is the basic spec of the engine

PG bottom end fully rebuilt with lightened and balanced crankshaft/flywheel

modified rear charger mount
G-Werks stainless 4-2-1 exhaust manifold(heat shield wrapped)

It's running around 270bhp in its current state, i've got a new shell for it that's had all of the engine bay smoothed (not excessively).

I'm getting that painted alpine white with all of the original vinyl down the doors/boot etc and keeping all of the plastic arches and what not.

Main aim is for it to look as OEM as possible with a bit of a twist, using BBS E50 motorsport wheels

Bit like this.
