Re: the specs, AFAIK only two CSLs were sold in Ireland from new, and both were UK specs anyways (mine being one of the two). NJs car for sale...if it is the car I think it is...I believe this was Brian's (Cork area), aka Hankcharlie on here. Might be worth touching base with him for more info on the history. Paddy |

Wonder if Scottish CSL will lose value if there is a yes Vote

I'm actually meeting up with the previous owner of mine next weekend, who I suspect will have some more info on this particular CSL. Leave it with me folks. |

Although we never really salted the roads much here in the winter, and certainly nothing in comparison to England in particular Dangerous game Paddy, he may want to buy it back from you |

Hi John and welcome back to the fold
The majority of cars supplied (of the 422) were designated: "allocation: United Kingdom & Ireland" a few however were noted as "Great Britain", all supplied via BMW UK for distribution. I can only assume that the only difference would be the speedo calibration which would have been done by BMW UK prior to shipping?

Cheers Neil that all makes sense. I thought it wouldn't matter but you gotta ask these questions. Interesting that there was UK & Ireland cars then GB cars.

I was told many moons ago that there was no CSL’s sold brand new in Ireland (Republic) & that each of the Northern Irish BMW dealers had to take one, so if that is correct that would’ve been 4 sold here which would count 4 of the 422 UK cars. |

You're not wrong Jeff...withdrawal symptoms are well and truly in. He'll be back in one yet!
There were two sold in the Rep from new as far as I know...mine was originally sold by Conaln's in Kildare. I was told about the other but can't remember for the life of me where it sold. |
