Yes, this is my old car. And yes, the bumper, wing, and door hadn't had the Rolls Royce of repairs / paint. But, the buyer of this car had a full inspection done on it and there was no evidence or proof of big accident damage. FFS it could of been damaged by a supermarket trolley in the car park!! People get too hung up on finding the 'perfect' car. It never exists. The CSL was a car that was well known for being 'used', 'tracked'. They were cheap as chips at one time - people bought them to use them, not to wrap them up in cotton wool (like they are now). It's been said many times - if in doubt, have an inspection done. Tyre-kicker Lance would of been £10k+ up now if he was 'serious' about owning a CSL. The engine had been fully rebuilt by BMW at a cost of nearly £20k. Warranty - Yes. Bootfloor repair - yes. FSH - yes. Receipts for £kkkk's - yes. Low owners - yes. Above average condition - definitely. Why did i sell? - GT4 arriving in November!
Anyway, effing great car the CSL was. Sadly didn't get to use mine much as it was down at Elms BMW in most of my ownership. Come on BMW, sort the fucking parts supply issues out!! This wouldn't happen in any other premium brand.
Oh, and good luck to the dealer who now has the car, and also to anyone that buys this car. If it really chomps yer sausage, get the front resprayed!
Bit of advice Lance - stop talking boll0x about other peoples cars and go buy something. Lifes too short.
Take care all

Excellent post chap!
Refreshing to read!!
Isn't it strange how potential owners looking @ £50K csl's quibble about minor cosmetic imperfections that can be professionally restored for a fraction of the car's value.
