Granada Red 3.0CS FS at Oldenzaal

Is this the Granda they have on their website? If so, it's a car I would love to own... if I wasn't up to my eyeballs in E9 projects. Series 2 CSi's are so good.
 
nope, its a 2210508 3.0 CS.

i think in order to access it, you have to be on their email list. car looks good on the email you sent ... 1 owner from Switzerland
 
Howdy...I checked this car out a while back. https://oldenzaal-classics.nl/te-koop/bmw-3-0-cs-3/

Its a true original Euro CS survivor with about 59K miles They dry ice blasted the undercarriage and replaced all the suspension bushings (etc) to prep it for sale. Its been repainted once. It looks very clean, scope out the front fender seams. It also has some nice original patina. It's been for sale for a few months now. Hope this helps give a little context for this beauty! Price is $95k Euros.

If it is what it looks like, the hood is touching the insulation on the right side, never a good sign.

Gary’s car wasn’t Granada red - which is an early 2800cs color. It was a Porsche color - Surinam red similar to granatrot.

my thoughts are that they get a lot of things correct but they get a lot of detail things wrong ... and when you are paying near top dollar (or euro as the case may be), that isn't good. they have been found guilty, in the court of public opinion, of taking a streetpack CSL - shaving the torsion bars off the hood and trunk (and other things) trying to make them become a true lightweight.
 
Since last September I have returned two citypack CSLs back to their original configuration for the new owners after Oldenzaal removed bumpers, welded up the bumper iron slots, mounted GRP rear bumpers and other bits to make them look like lightweights as Scott has mentioned. They also love to add yellow dome nuts to the motor and elsewhere as well. They did drive nicely though.

And they had a coupe listed which was LHD with a RHD VIN which they did not feel compelled to mention.

Was this a RHD VIN where the car underwent a LHD conversion?
I am facing this with my Zagato build and my plan was to re-stamp one VIN digit in the presence of DMV folks and get their affidavit of conversion. Fortunately Lancias differ in just one prefix digit between LHD/RHD and the chassis suffix is unique regardless of prefix.

I really want to avoid people questioning why I have a LHD with a RHD VIN as Chris points out, and of course have no problems at the CA DMV.
 
I have to question why lock washers are needed on the thermostat cover and suggest potential buyers send someone in to examine the driver side inner fender.

not to my knowledge although BMW had RHD and LHD cars in the 221 series 3.0 CS. i think that was probably either a 3.0 CSi or a CSL
 
It was a 2285xxx RHD CSL converted to LHD, no longer on their website. We know that the UK importer modified LHD 2800s into RHD but I don’t think we know if they also did that to the early 3.0CS coupes, it would be nice to find out.
