Mal, I would not take any notice of this write up, yes it has a couple of things right, but it is filled with bad information. Just as one example I personally have in my collection three of the first 169 carb CSL's all built well before the claimed start date of Dec 71. This is the work of...

Thank you Markos, yes, all mine are CSLs and then that one 2800CS was a Schnitzer car from new, ran with pretty much most of the Schnitzer drivers in the 71/72/73 period, won at Zandvoort in 71 and Spa in 72 (Jacky Ickx). Then was turned into a CSL specification and was Walter Bruns Magic...

I know what you call somebody with seven - just plain greedy :) Although, I do have mitigating circumstances or is it just a collectors rationale/excuse to convince himself and his loved ones ? :) Either way, I have my excuse for my craziness at the ready :D

Sorry to but in, but chassis is what truly matters on a car, any car. What engine it has doesn't stop it being what it is, a Shelby GT 350 with any engine or even no engine, is and will always be a Shelby GT 350, it may not be original, it may not be correct, but even an empty shell of a GT 350...

Hi Keshav, I don't know this car or the owner and I hope I am not being rude, as I never want or intend to be. Some very strange comments from the owner here, many of them not factual, either about a CSL or this actual car. It looks a lovely car sitting on the grass and best wishes to the...

Sounds like a good idea @Keshav. While not on here as much as many, when I do I look, I look at classified and at the Whats New section, which basically covers my general interest and would therefore cover any crossover between CS, CSI and CSL. I agree with @Markos Classified should stay as...

Dealer is well known in the area an is also the local Aston Martin and Lotus dealer. Most of the classics are consignment and they will do the job they do for a while and then if no buyers will suggest to owner taking the car to Mecum or Barrett Jackson, often they will supply 30-40 cars to...

Hi @Markos, Unfortunately, that rain channel in the boot/trunk of exactly where you share the photo Markos, when I got to look at the pictures, is like a Monkey screaming from the chandeliers to me. So we should thank the seller for at least that honesty This is not anything like the crown...

Absolutely not, your car you should do what you want Wes and your are saving a great car and being honest, cant ask for more than that mate. I personally love originality, but I love the hobby more and it would be a pretty boring hobby if all were like me. As I like to say "if you love your...

Provence, Provenance, Provence .........in a second series Batmobile you could have whatever you wanted, pink with green spots would have been acceptable, as BMW were desperate to sell these expensive cars. So if possible, you have to get back to the original owner or dealers records. That...

Keshav - completely agree. It was strange, the recent sale of the CSL on Bring a Trailer was also a very heavy car, even had headlight washer system, nothing wrong with having these "comforts", just makes it heavy for a CSL. Thankfully my Bat has no creature comforts and the original owner...

The Dubai car was sold for $218k US dollars I believe and yes, many details also not correct with that car, wrong wheels, wrong spoiler, not original color etc................ If I remember correctly, chassis 4355046 ...........this chassis 4355046 was recently for sale again in Australia, for...

OMG ! Cheesy Video, incorrect statements - but I guess it appeals to some out there, certainly seems too - . I wish the owner well - and this is no refection on him/her or what seems like a very nice CSL - but I understand this seller takes something like 20% of the sale price o_O so I hope...

Very sad, gutted, I considered Eric a friend and will miss him. I don't know that I ever saw him and he wasn't smiling and enjoying life. We recently spent a little time together in Monterey and was discussing the new lady in his life etc. Eric's enthusiasm and passion lifted the profile of...

Thank you Christoph - a very full and informative post, with great pictures. If I may add my understanding on the BMW Factory Kombi's and English Estate cars ........... Just three Kombi's made for the BMW team, which were used extensively for both Rallye cars as you mention and the early CSL...

This car is above is very different to the factory Kombis and looks almost home made to me in the pictures, as it neither looks like the factory cars or the UK built ones. I wonder if this was part of the E3 horde that was for sale a while ago, there was an extremely rough car amongst...

Up in the PNW just north of Seattle USA

I love everything about this car - the restoration, the art work, the way it makes you smile. I commend the owner for all parts of the execution he commissioned here - its absolutely beautiful I wonder if anybody actually knows Christian Zschocke personally, I would love to reach out to him...

It was great meeting you and a few others, thank you for coming by. Great timing in your picture, that crowd I was speaking with was the BMW senior execs at the show :-) they came by twice. It was a tough class, but the prewar European always is and our old Italian Gal, got a 2nd in class...

Hi Ohmess, That wasn't me sir, I broke down on Big Sur after pulling over to the side, everybody went past me fine. I had a puddle of what looked like a Starbucks Latte on the lay by , but nothing terrible for the road, although terrible for little old me though :-)
