Damaged CSL

[shimmy]

Unless someone wants to buy it and keep the car... no point buying just to fix & sell IMHO.

Front bumper alone is £3500

Unless you have one!

If its panel only and air box and engine is ok you could make some money ESP if its not recorded cat c/d

Depends on shell, air box and engine really

Thats why I would never bid blind on something like this, always view and thoroughly inspect first.

If it's not recorded this could make someone a few quid


Fit a replica bumper, cheap and easy, if done well hard to tell too.

Agreed, it would be silly to think with a few parts it could be fixed cheaply. What you've got to think is that Shane sold his cat D CSL with 30k on it recently for £19,999 (well that's what he advertised it for). This has got double the miles, so you'd have to get it pretty cheaply to make good money on it.

Difference is this may not be recorded cat c/d which would make a big difference.

Prices all fixed could vary from £16-22k so it could be a nicer earner or money pit depending on the damage beneath.

I'm no expert but can't be worth anymore than £11k - prob better to strip and sell the parts

Air box £3k
Engine and loom £3k
Seats £2k
Rims £500
Interior £3k
£11.5 already with some easy labour.

Not to mention:

Bootlid £500
Rear LED's £200
Exhaust £500-£1200 (depending on Supersprint parts)
Diff £200-300?
Survived suspension and brake parts? £500
CF roof? £500
That's not counting the glass, doors and other panels.

There's another £3K! Would be a waste to break an unregistered car though.

This was the P1 car i should know i owned it for a year it had been bumped before but unrecorded it has had a OSR Quarter as well :hahaha::hahaha:

I paid 21k had it a year then sold it for 28k the boy i sold it too done the ring and spa in it quite a few times then traded it in for a GT3.

Just some history on the car

[Sailorbaz]

Jawsus, this cars had an unfortunate life. Good to get a bit of history about it though.

What side 1/4 panel had it had Mark?

Pretty damn sure this was my car!
Still owed 9k from the payout.:banghead:
The airbox is broken.

[Sailorbaz]

£9K??? Surely this wasn't what they offered you??? Or, is this the balance?

Judging by the photos in your other thread, this is 99% your car. What's the story with the rear axle? Judging by the impact, I wouldn't assume anything would be wrong with the rear end, diff etc, I suppose it could be when it's been lifted and put back down by a fork lift truck, the wheels haven't turned and therefore haven't had a chance to sit right. Think of when you jack your car up and lower it back onto it's wheels, you need to take the Handbrake off and roll it a bit until it sits right. That could put people off and keep the bidding down... ;-)

What happened mate, if you don't mind us asking. This world of CSL ownership is getting smaller every day.

Sorry, just read your other threads. I remember you posting before about the dodgy overtaking manoeuvre right enough.

The balance owed is £9000, I presume the salvage company are yet to pay the insurance company, hence why I'm out of pocket.
The broker assures me its in hand, and to be fair I've not been chasing it.

The rear suspension is fine, its just tripoding because the upright is shoved back and the car weight is front biased. Being dragged on and off a lorry probably hasnt helped either!

The airbox brackets are broken and the assesor was at £15000 in bits on his estimate when it was decided to write it off.

If I were a shrewd businessman with some cash, I'd buy it and strip it.

But I've just bought HKSjon's saphire black csl. Lovely chap, many thanks.

[Sailorbaz]

Welcome back, look forward to some photos of this latest yoke! ;-)

Good god those Yanks must have money to burn! £1K including postage to the States for an OEM Diffuser and it sold.

The car is easy repair. Just looks bad. Wish it was LHD I would have bought it in a heartbeat
