Concours CSL for sale

[NBTBRV8]

Absolutely correct.

I think once cars get to the point where they are being fully restored, then mileage becomes less of an issue & the premiums are paid for quality & originality of the resto but ... such a shame not to enjoy the journey of life by never driving a car , especially one that is judged & enjoyed by many because of the way it drives

I think I will disagree. Look at the two Gullwings sold at auction recently, the unrestored (well used) example sold for more than the restored example. In classic car circles you see it quite often.

Original low mile examples will always pull high values over anything else, because you can't replicate that.

But that is exactly my point. The originality is more important than mileage, every time.

In my business people don't care about mileage because they want to use them. There are exceptions but they are few and far between.

When demand far exceeds supply, new "rules" will come into play.

Just took it to Munich Legends for a check up and they were amazed at the condition .. Underneath is still like new never been in the wet .

I very much doubt you'll find a better car. All the "aftermarket tat" is easily removeable, and the owner has all the original parts wrapped up in cotton wool, bubble wrap and a silk sheets......

The engine sounds exactly as it did when it was first started when it rolled off the production line in Oct 2003.









And in the owner you'll not find a more genuine, enthusiastic, helpful or down to earth individual.

And to save further forum tittle tattle and conjecture, the asking price is circa £65K.

cheap as chips considering you cannot buy a CSL here in HK for £65K period.:smokin:

Prices in Germany are going insane.
