1972 E9 3.0CSL UK RHD going up for sale on eBay, E9 in Scotland.

You salesman ! : 'What I will say is this, whatever the final agreed sale price is, it will still be a steal to the potential buyer. It's a CSL, an appreciating asset.'

One thing I will say is that I think a lot of csl buyers have been disappointed with the quality of rhd cars for sale restored in the £35-50k range. As such the opportunity to restore a car to your own spec seems perhaps more interesting than it might in say the e-type world.

Best of luck with the sale.
 
Go to the bottom of the ebay ad and you will see two RHD City Pack CSL supposedly in perfect condition, one kept in a heated garage for the last 32 years. Asking price, not the bidding price, 30,000 pounds for the first, 50,000 for the second.

Something to think about.
 
A European collector friend with R/LHD CSLs including a famous Batmobile feels, and I am closely paraphrasing: the restoration could easily hit $70-80K if the owner does some of the "organizing." He would not be surprised if it hit $100K considering some of the parts it needs. Big shops, the pros are now at $150-175K. It looks like a parts car, worth it at the current bid. Something to chew on.

I had to have all new sills and all the inner/outer rear/boot panels,plus door skins done and then a full respray on my Taiga CSL. I didnt get much change from £30k :-( It sure adds up. I would also point out that before this work, outwardly the car still looked in amazing condition. But once you start digging...

I think a problem is that we see the CSLs advertised at £45-50k as being 'fully restored' or 'perfect' condition, but from what Ive heard, they arnt. So maybe taking a gamble on restoration isnt so bad after all. I think Harry Medcalfe said £80k was paid for a mint RHD CSL. Maybe that might be closer the mark, with £50k cars being driveable, mechanically sound, outwardly in gorgeous condition, but still hiding a few of the usual problems underneath.
 
Dangerous subject value etc but as you say Wage - a lot of the £40-50k cars still need a lot of money and TIME to bring them upto a1 condition. For me a perfect RHD csl is 'worth' >£65k based on that being less than the cost of procuring and restoring a rolling resto car.
 
Really? The listing in my eBay shows it ended at £10,700 reserve not met. If that made £18k I had better add £18k to my agreed value!
 
The auction ended a couple of days early, when bidding was at £10700.
I spoke with the owner on the phone when the car was first listed he hold me the reserve was £13500 but he would end the auction early if he had a good offer he was expecting 18k. I was out at that price, he then emailed me to say he had an offer of 16k so I guess he got somewhere between the two.
Nice guy , great salesman , cool colour

Same here, was asked if I could improve on the offer. Before you know it, you've got yourself an auction!
 
I think that some car have a better future as a bank of spare parts for the cars that are easier to repair.
With today's labor cost, this car might cost $100K in restoration.
