I will be going over to the UK and have been looking at several CSL's that are for sale over there. They range from 69,995GBP+ for a fully restored car($116030 US) down to 29,995GBP for an original, never restored with 106,340 miles, and still in good shape CSL ($48222 US ).
These are both RHD but with aluminum hood, trunk and door skins. I know there are very few CSL's for sale in America, and was wondering if anyone would have any idea what these cars would sell for if I was to import them. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think you would struggle to get those dollar amounts once you add in aggro and shipping cost.
 
Look out for rust

Barley03,

The biggest problem with cars from the UK is rust. Brits have a different tolerance to rust than us in Australia - I would suspect the US tolerance to rust would be similar to ours.

The Brits think nothing of a little rust bubble here or there, or a "puffing" exhaust. In the UK I saw an E9 with rust in places where I had never seen rust before in Australia.

I would recommend you thoroughly inspect anything that you buy - see it in person.

Cheers,
