+1 You HAVE to go on condition, I've never bought a car on owners, I couldn't care less personally if a car's had 2 or 20 previous owners, if it's a good car it's a good car and Eric's is CERTAINLY a good car!Originally posted by glendog74 View Post

Agree both with Fasteddie and Azreal. Number of owners on RARE cars like the CSL is irrelevant. It's not unusual on such cars (Porsche, Ferrari & Lambos included) to have 3 previous owners within the first 3 years. My CSL was on it's third owner (it's actual first, proper owner) within a month and a bit !!! from the original date of registration. First two owners seemed to be part time Car dealers, buying an early CSL on speculation to sell on for a profit :smt047
First one bought the car on 1st of September 2003 (the very first day of '53 plate cars, so no coincident there :whistle: ) and SOLD it on 3rd of October 2003 to another Dealer who must have had a buyer for it already, as he only had it for 9 days !!! Yes 9 days... long enough for him to apply a private plate to it (M3 WPC) prior to sale. As it happens these were the initials of the third owner's Company name, Wincanton Print Company = WPC
The third owner (the proper first owner in my eyes ) then had my CSL for 2 and a half years as a Company car :thumbs: They then Part Exchanged it @ BMW Canterbury in 2006 where it sat around for 4 months before they SOLD it onto it's fourth owner (another Company car driver and it's second proper owner) as a BMW Approved Used car. After that it was Rags (who's on here from time to time) who owned it for 10 months, and then Jeff (who use to be on here) who owned it for just 6 months prior to me. :beer:
It's amazing what you can discover for a Fiver, from DVLA :thumbs:
For the record... Eric's CSL is an absolute MINTER and if I didn't have mine already he'd be without his by now :whistle: as I said beforeComment

Franco - there's loads of love here on CSLR, it's a well known fact! :smt057
Perhaps Mr Furbix's first post would have gone down better along the lines of an introduction and slightly better worded questions rather than several blunt ones about a particular car.
We're protective of our regular members and their cars on here lol :smt052
