I'm a Sheep... but it's not my fault...

Stumpy · 19-07-2014, 08:22 PM

I've been looking for a while at getting either a 996TT or a CSL. Both are cracking cars in their own right and both seem to be solid purchases, not really being affected by depreciation (at the moment). I would have loved a GT3 but they're out of reach now.

I couldn't resist any longer trying an E46 M3 though.

I've been looking for a while and obviously reading with interest the very many of them on here.

Anyway out of the blue someone dropped me a line saying they were selling their SG CSL and would I be interested.

2003, Build Nr 406 so one of the later ones (registered end December 2013);
67k miles;
Armourfend to the front, and rear arches;
Hayward & Scott rear box;
New Pilot Sport Cups;
New MoT;
Just had Insp 2;
Newly refurbished F&R brakes with new braided lines and new Red Stuff pads;
Newly refurbished rims;
Tracker fitted;
Boot/Subframe strengthened;
All Vanos checked along with Valves and Crank and all good;

Got to say the exhaust note is absolutely mind-blowing and screams like a stabbed rat above 6k. It's a very cerebral experience.

Plans are to re-cover the steering wheel and simply enjoy it.

Congrats! Sport on, windows down

Just realised I hadn't mentioned the fact the car was bought off sjb here. A gent and a pleasure to deal with.

Car came with a stack of old magazines featuring the CSL from 2003/2004, and a car coveras well!

Saw the camper van he has too which looked lovely...

Looks nice but what are those things behind the front wheel

Upgrading your csl is very therapeutic.....and mildly addictive

I'm not shy of modding having come from (B5) RS4's and S4 track cars, both over 500bhp, but £2500 for brakes is too steep...
