Your CSL is worth way more than that. Don't think number of owners really matters.

offroading a Series 2A

It saw some moorland byways with me & that was it .. previous owner used on road only. Great things offroad , if somewhat agricultural

if as a collective we think its over £40K .. that's fine by me

No plans to sell anyway until someone can point me to a quick 4 seater that is fun and isn't going to depreciate

I can't see one that fills this role.

Stick it up for £60k

I am with BillyBoysM3. At the end of the day your could always pull out at the last minute or just take the £60,000. I nearly bought W1TAK's CSL a few years ago (~2007) but he changed his mind and then sold it six months later.

At least it will give you a good idea if that sell price is acheiveable.

Sound advice. Pick the Porker up in a month so will see how I get on with it first

If someone offered me £60k right here right now I think I would say no! Kind of proves that I don't really want to sell it!

See that Nick Johnson sold his 36,000 mile car fairly quickly which was advertised at £60,000

I don't know what's happening with prices atm. So much 'new' stuff is selling at premiums that were previously unheard of. I wonder if there's just too many people with too much money that are desperate to be part of it. The bubble will pop, but how it affects cars like the CSL, I don't know. Personally, and after owning one, I think they are starting to look expensive. Parts are limited, and engine problems are not rare. I bought mine for £32.5k (from memory) and thought it was worth the money at that (50% cost of a 997GT3). Same car today at £60k loses my feeling of value/worth. My money today would be on the 996/997 GT3 (non-RS).
