That's my only concern, I know they are built for that but I'd rather have one that's been occasionally used on track/mainly on road and serviced regularly than used on track a lot and
serviced a lot.


Regardless, I'm after comprehensive history and a car that's not tired. I am by no means saying this one is, but it's odd how he claims to never have done a track day. Mileage is irrelevant for me, if it's been driven "sympathetically" and well maintained, that's all I want

It will be a keeper for me and only used on track.
There are some CSLs that don't see the track, a real waste obviously but it does happen.
Reading the Ad http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3652074.htm it's been serviced by Murketts BMW for the past 5 years which is excellent news as they were (until very recently) THE place to look after your CSL, under the wings of Andy Pressland (RIP) and worked on by Gareth who's now @ Elms BMW Cambridge (the New Murketts). If you ask nicely I'm sure Gareth will give you an honest, unbiased opinion of this particular car as he probably knows it inside out.
