Your Previous and Future cars...?

[Alx007]

If you have the opportunity, keep the CSL and go for a GTS or Vantage.

Thank you for your advice Roland.

I confess I would prefer a manual on the open roads, even though I quite like the SMG.

My dream would be to have my CSL converted to a manual gearbox at BMW Classic.

I wrote them once, but got no answer.

I have just put a deposit down on a manual DB9 with sports pack. It is different enough to the CSL to be interesting, it is pretty quick, and it doesn't look or sound too bad either.

How come you have not listed the i3.

I think we're taking about real cars! :whistle::smt064:smt014:smt024

Good advice this. I think CSL and 997 GTS (C2 with LSD), buckets, are a perfect couple.

No problem. The Speed 25 is a Cross and Ellis 4 door Sports Tourer and in a long restoration at the moment. Two Speed 20's are Vanden Plas Sports Tourers, one four seater and one two seater. 4.3 Litre racer is the Goodwin Special built 1948. Much fun and should be back historic racing next year after 25+ years laid up in a private collection. TD's and TE's are in the depths of the barn, all in rough state. No pics of those to hand.

wow

Proper cars . Always been tempted with a vintage ? car but never had the balls . I regularly watch the flyingscotsman rally as it passes close by me . What's the reality of jumping in one & driving across europe for example ?

[AlexGTT]

Not too much of an issue. My business provides restoration and rally prep services for Alvis's. Had many on the Flying Scotsman and it's a great event. Just had one customer come back from Peking to Paris Rally this weekend in an Alvis. Finished 9th out of 115 starters and 1st in class so dead chuffed.
