Cheers mate. I have been restraining myself from posting so far until I had the keys in my pocket!

Tempted to get another and mothball it

Rang the dealer on this one. Service history all stacks up. Seems a good one

However, no subframe repair.

The newly list 39987 mile car for £45k also sounded good apart from running in service at 1700 miles

Finally the Millennium Heros 15k car has been withdrawn an no longer for sale. At £60k it seemed decent value

M88 CSL. Know the car has been known on the register, but never got to meet the owner, however grateful I am for passing it on to me.

Car seems fantastic, and despite what I might have got it for 18 months ago, I think it's a great buy in the market. Ignoring the fact that - what a car.

Never-going-to-sell.

Nowt wrong with run in service at 1700 miles. Only have to worry above 2000 ;-)

Well done Joseph you have a cracking CSL glad the ol' girl has gone to a good home. Now i'm remembering that Dunc thread of csl sellers walking the streets at weekends kicking empty drink cans thinking why why why

Gimme a pm shout if you need any further assistance.

Hi all, I'm a newbie and yet to become a CSL owner... What do folks think about the Graypaul Ferrari CSL - up at 52k which does seem excessive?

I enquired a bit about it, one of the prev owners had it on number plate HYP 1C and I believe was a Forum member ("Hypnotic" - based in Lancashire)... tired to PM him, but don't think he's been active on the forum since March 2013.

If anyone knows this car, or has some context they can share with me on it - please do PM me or shout to let me know !

cheers!

Will set new standards if it sells for that price .

[Pethead]

Yep, it seems v punchy - even though 31k miles is low.

Key for me is what members who might know the car think. From reading previous posts from Hypnotic, who I think owned the car from 2008-2013'ish, he had clutch, flywheel and ECU replaced under warranty in 2008 when it had done around 22k miles....

Is that a common problem, or an indication that its been mistreated? The fact that they were changed under warranty less than 10k miles ago possibly a good thing however...

Any and all thoughts on the history of this car would be VERY welcomed ! I think Hypnotic was a chap called Gary, car would have had around 3 owners before him, stock number plate is SB04 RKE

cheers guys
