Looks like I'll have a CSL by the end of the week

Agreed the purchase of a sapphire black CSL today subject to a specialist checking it over later in the week and my current car going through an MOT tomorrow.

It's done 50,000 with recent inspection 2, new disks and pads needs the front bumper painting but other than that all seams well.

Can't wait to pick it up.

Cheers for the replies

I took a friend who runs a bodyshop to see the car, it's had the odd bit of paintwork but nothing major so thats fine

Also spoken to Barney at Classic hero's who did the inspection 2 and other bits and he said it was a good car from what he remembers.

Fingers crossed Munich legends won't find much wrong with it, I expect to get the odd 'bushes might need changing soon' kind of comments but not expecting too much, the guy selling it seams to look after his cars well, interior seams very good.

Just got to try and get used to the SMG which could come as a shock, I'm seeing lots of stalling on hill starts for the first few days.

Nice one Andy - hope it all works out on the final checks. Highly desirable those Black ones
