What's the off set ? and will they be able to take the punishment of Track work without going out of shape ?

I have to say, cosmicboys car really does look fantastic - a real credit to him. I'd like to see the complete album of photo's.

my fear is that car should never be driven :bigcry:

If its not to be driven, it doesnt need an engine, ...and ... if it doesnt need an engine ... I do !:hahaha:

Yeah ! Me neither ... it ..it ..it would be like spying some naked gorgeous bird though the groundfloor windows of a Premier Inn and not bashing one out :wanker: !! Yeah ! :supz:

its bloody good business tho,i bought that car for 37 k a few years ago and sold it for 59 and a half this year ,was gonna go down the porsche rs route and have some trackday fun with some of the fairies on here ,but low and behold another csl came up with 5k on the clock, with an absolutely spotless interior,so im doing the same again ,bought it for 25k ,3 people already want to put a deposit on if it turns out like the last one ,which it will so hey presto ,ive got wind of an rs200 with below 1k on the clock coming up after winter so i may have a go for that.
thanks for the nice emails and comments from those who got in touch ,and as for the comment that started this thread from a certain trader lol,uve got more chance of nailing blancmange to ur ceiling than having a csl as nice as the one i sold

Good on you Cosmic, enjoy what you are doing mate, ..of course,...if you ever get rusty at it, or fancy a REAL challenge .. you can borrow my car !:whistle:

the irony is that it wasnt overpriced surely - as it sold :thumbs:

the irony is that nick is questioning his own sanity!

What's the off set ? and will they be able to take the punishment of Track work without going out of shape ?

the wheels have been cast with a 12 mm thicker hub section so no need to use wheel spacers .both sets have been tested before painting ,x ray etc and are ok .magnesium has been used in wheels for years ,minilite etc but is costly.it is stronger than alloy but prone to brake dust corrosion if left on for a while .

CosmicBoy I dare say the 470 mile car I sold three years ago which I bought out of a private collection was as good a car but Im not in to spitefull chatter I just mearly thought I knew prices of these from the 44 different CSLs Ive sold. I also didnt realise that making the car in to something you couldnt drive would attract such a huge premium. How many hours does it take do detail it to this level and do you need to renew all the parts that deteriorate like the bonnet catches , wheels, tyres, brakes etc , If so it would make more sence for the high value. Hats off to you for such a clean car its certainly the cleanest one I know of now out there. Just need to know If I get a car with similar mile's on what I need to do and what time need's to be spent on the car to attract that sort of price.

Also the only reason I price my cars as I do is from the previous models I have sold. I try as much as possible to preach that these cars dont loose their value and if you dont drive them and theyll go up in value in the future so If you own a CSL surely I must be helping the values of these. If I started working on really small margins it would damage the prices of these as usually I always have about 15-25% of the CSLs on the market at any one time.

Shame theres a bad vibe from this as nothing bad was intended. Good luck with the 5k car Cosmic Boy.What price do you recon the three people will be willing to pay for that one. Looks like you've got a better source than I for the very low milers :drool:
