New owner, SG CSL

[HFLagos]

Well here is the postcode MK46 5DN and its on a pallet at the back of the shed !!! :hahaha:

Nice driving roads round there!

By the way, had to give in last night and use google to find out how to change the time on the CSL! :banghead:

hello and welcome hflagos, can i ask, that 964 in your pics, 911 Celebration??

the delta looks epic too!!

[Pazuzu]

Looks gorgeous

I too came from a 911 and wondered why I didn't do it sooner!

Cheers,

Phil

Enjoy your car :thumbs:

[HFLagos]

Thanks guys!

Ben - yes, I used to own a 964 Celebration, the colour is Viola Metallic. It was a lovely car in beautiful condition. I loved the widebody "spoiler-less" look of certain 911 models and the 964 was one of my favourites. It was replaced with the 993 C2S.

The Delta I had was a limited edition built towards the end of production, though the Final Edition cars sent to Japan were the last ever. It was an obsession to buy that car after I saw one as a kid in London, could not believe the stance and butch looks of the car. I was in my early 20's when I bought it and eventually sold when I moved to the US, but it was a dream fulfilled (and me bankrupted with the running costs!!)

kudos. you've had some rare birds there. I've only ever seen 1 celebration, in the violet on some 3.6 speedlines, looked mega.

It would be a Blu Lagos Edition? Great colour and interior

[HFLagos]

Thanks Ben. That Celebration must have indeed looked great!

And yes mine was the Blu Lagos edition, around 215 produced in total. The other main limited editions for the Evo II were the Giallo (Yellow with black alcantara), Dealers Collection (Burgundy with Tan) and Bianco Perlato (Pearl White with Blue).

The Final Edition was dark red with black and went to Japan but over time a few have found their way here.

apparently one of six cars to do so

Where did you get that info? Doubt it was that rare? Mine was done, I suspect all the press cars too?

[HFLagos]

Nathan - I got the information from the first owner (mentioned earlier), he was led to believe only about half a dozen cars came to the UK direct from the factory as delimited. I also spoke to Murketts about this recently, it was not a straightforward option on new CSL's.

In order for a brand new CSL to have this map, the customer had to provide evidence of having a racing licence. (there are plenty of references to this also elsewhere on the net)

Since then, other owners have had a delimited map put on their car from BMW direct, but I have read that they needed to also provide evidence of having a racing licence.

I don't know about press cars to be honest, you may well be right. :beer:

Nice to bump into you yesterday at Elms. Don't forget to book up the Munich trip.

Good to see you too Trawler :wink:

Point taken re: Munich, will see what's possible. Meanwhile, Elms kindly gave me a white w/red leather 320d Convertible as a courtesy car whilst the subframe on my car is being done. Great mpg, but I can't wait to get the CSL back!

Loved the Lagos blue, I had a white 16v for nearly 6 years, hindsight etc etc. I just missed out getting one of the fast road Giallo ones from germany (can't remember what the tuning company was).

Think I've read of a few factory delimited csl's on here, didn't appreciate how rare they were, hasn't Neil M got one? - he seems to be another font of knowledge...

I was looking around at the end of last year trying to decide between returning to an Integrale or getting a csl... I know how good the Integrale is but the csl blew my mind...

...we've been together 17 days now :heart: - can't wait to get home

The German company which did the fast yellow ones was called Holzer I think? I remember way back I used to be on the Evocorner forum and one of the regular contributors had one.

I loved my Lagos, have thought about getting a Final Edition, but may be best just to look back fondly now. Parts availability is a concern. :beer:

Great mpg that was its only redeeming feature when I was loaned a 320d convertible.
