Hi Tightbox, Not worries at all, apolgese not needed, I just wanted to be clear - yes, would have been great to say hello. It's so hard with these events, we could have been within a few feet of each other, but unless we know what we look like, just doesn't happen. In fact, that is exactly...

Hi Scott, I only made my comments to try and make people aware this car was in no way indicative of what a good CSL is and in turn the overly enthusiastic words that have been written about it. I see somebody above mentions my seeing it years ago - that is incorrect, I had it inspected in the...

Yes, exactly Sandhu. I am guessing you talked with the people at Four Star Classic at the time - I got the same spiel as you sir :)

This car was never a concourse car and I doubt has ever been since it left the showroom floor. I had it inspected about 12 years ago when for sale in the UK and as I mentioned it was a cheaply done resto then, that has now not aged well. I understand all owners of this car have kept it well,or...

It was a fair price for that car particular car. Really, really badly restored many years ago and not only showing signs of a cheap restoration, but so much of it done incorrectly, dare I say you would have to start again. Certainly hope the new owner does it, the car deserves to be properly...

Hi Chris and guys, Yes, lots of small things here incorrect, some already named and not that hard to correct if only somebody would give it some love. I always find it so sad that this car has continued with the reproduction first series Bat rear wing and that 4 bar grill, a second series...

It is - I often do it in my Taiga car and love watching people do double takes :-)

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...
