Hi guys I spotted these 2 beauties yesterday
I was in Brussels for a quick visit and managed to find time to visit the Autoworld museum .
I was really impressed by what they had on display
It really helped of course that they had these 2 on display :)
The main display at the moment in the museum is celebrating the history of Maserati and the cars that they have are very special indeed and well worth a visit.

i was at the autoworld when they had 12 M1s at display, we had a meeting/event in the same building, and free pass to the museum was inlcuded in the event fee

Super !
I’d imagine in the spring or summer that it must be quite a nice venue for a classic car meet.
I nearly missed going there .
I didn’t think I’d have time to get to go there as we were only on a 2 day / one night quick city break and we had spent 1 day visiting Bruges and the second day we were in Brussels itself and my family already had a list of tourist spots we wanted to see.
I had taken a quick look at the museum’s Facebook page and one of the articles from December was a story about an Alfa Romeo Montreal, and while looking at that I spotted the fjord blue e9 in the background
So I decided that , I definitely wanted to find the time to get down there then .
So I was delighted then when I got there to find 2 E9’s there on show.
Does anyone know the story about the racing CSL ? Is she an original racing CSL ??
Does anyone know if the fjord blue is on loan to the museum ? She was super clean !
 
Okay
So the CSL is an original
I’m actually slightly embarrassed that I even asked. She’s awesome !!!

i am not sure if / if not one of 21 motorsport race cars. more likely it was one of the CSL built into race spec, whether a 2275xxx car or perhaps a carb CSL

I’m not 100% sure either as I didn’t get to see the vin number
I think this might be footage of the same car
