If I may on this car. There seemed to be some genuine interest in this car and I think the price was a little light, but the car was not
Not in a bad way, it just is.
If we take into consideration what I am presuming is steel door skins, all four electric windows, the wonderful washer system(fun to see, but weight) and a few other things that can be seen clearly in the pictures, we are looking at a one of the heavier LHD CSL's produced. Compared to modern so called weight saving, I am sure even this car could hold its own % wise to a modern "lightweight" version of a street car, but not amongst it CSL siblings, nothing wrong with that of course, its still an extremely rare CSL.
I have now heard about three people that saw it and the paint was less than optimal and if you look at the pictures etc, that looks to be the case. Any buyer would have to wonder whats below that paint, how much of the Skelton problems we all know about were addressed. The few people who called me on the car, these were the points discussed.
E9s are hot, really hot at the moment, but I still think its early days and people are going for looks rather than the most historically important and rarest, that knowledge/desire comes with time. The big money guys are out there and they are looking, but this was not the car to attract their attention or hit it out of the park on a CSL.
