Some interesting comments above, but please, let's stop the political rant guys. No doubt you are a good car owner and a welcome part of the community, which is great, but lets not go down this rat hole people. The question is should the 18c tax be cut, will you see the benefit or not? I...

Eh guys, at least we can see it has the correct aluminum panels and it is honest. I had to look at one in the in the UK last week (although a LHD) and it had a covering paint job many years ago and the rust (on the outside) at the bottom of A pillars was the size of your hand and we all know...

I second this consul side panels comment

No worries at all, I completely understand, I to am tired of inaccurate info and so called "internet authorities", so if you did not know, yours was a reasonable statement. But the net is the net and these things stay somewhere up there in the clouds - I know not where - therefore if you don't...

They are not "calling it" the only BMW factory/works Rally CSL, I am doing so, as are the mechanics who worked in Motorsport when it started in 72 and the mechanics who worked exclusively for the Rallye department, oh yeah and the drivers who drove it.

+2 Part it. There is also an emotional angle if I may, bit like an organ donor. You will have saved the car you remember and donated to allow others to live. P.S. dibs on center consul side panels for me or the whole consul if easier :)

Oh there is a few signatures I could suggest should have been in included. And yes on the PS

Hi John Yes, sadly some piece of scum came in the building and it was obviously a targeted theft, as they went straight for the guitar and while they also stole the Pebble Beach trophy, I have to believe, that was just shiny object they saw on the way out the window, maybe thought because it...

Would love to see the picture you mention. There was a Schnitzer car found in Peter Briggs collection in the Perth area about this time, that car was returned to the UK and was restored to its Schnitzer livery. I have a dusty old picture of my Schnitzer in beautiful Jagermeister Gp5 livery...

To quote Monty Python, the actual Lauda car is no more, it has ceased to be, bereft of life, it rests in peace I have sat and had dinner with Eckhard Schimpf, who was in charge of Jagermeisters Motorsport sponsorship for 30 years, I have also visited his amazing collection of Jagermeister...

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
