Aluminum Block?

"The engine block, doors and boot lid were upgraded to aluminum,"

Who writes this stuff?

 

[johanaxelson]

I saw that too, but am sure he meant the hood.

Tool box?
Does the csl include a complete tool box?
I thought it was a strict diet so i thought no extra weight

 

[dascoupeguy]

front power windows?

I thought csl's had manual front windows?

 

[Stan]

City Pack?
Love that color!

 

[johanaxelson]

But what is the color? Is it Ceylon or "gold"?

Johan , I believe colour code 008 is "Ceylon gold metallic"

 

[Wally Siswadji]

Not period correct side mirrors?

 

[johanaxelson]

Thanks Aussie, but it is so much more gold than other ceylons? Some are almost bronze. Are there two ceylon, don't see it on the color list?

Hej Johan,

There is only one color code for CSL cars in Ceylon = 08. The car in the CD-article is a pretty early car from the batch of CSLs that were delivered new to Austria. In total less than 20 CSLs, from the 2275- VIN range, were delivered from factory in Ceylon.

Cheers

Yeah Henric, but most Ceylon seem to look like this:

Looks more bronze than gold to me.
