Also, the car is very nice and well done. Should be turned into a CSL tribute racecar.
Hi Sandu,
Well I think a CSL is only a CSL if it’s got a CSL lightweight body and panels, and with an actual CSL VIN number body stamp ie front near firewall.
I would personally describe this car as a CSL Replica or CSL Tribute. This is what the auction ad should describe it as imho.
No pictures of the VIN stamp on the firewall. If it's 2285 then the car is a vin swapped car and illegal in almost all jurisdictions...
What is the VIN on the passenger side firewall?
What is the VIN on the passenger side firewall?
The real csl body shell to 2285486 is in rust/scrap heaven with the others that have gone before and after 486!!!Then is it safe to say that real 2285486 is permanently gone, or is it around somewhere?
I think there will be a few more of these surfacing in the near future....as for Silverstone Auctions they were selling a Gp A M3 a couple of years back claiming it was a `factory` Gp A car and history of a car that was destroyed years ago. I mentioned this to them, it was withdrawn from the Auction but appeared for sale soon after in Germany still claiming the same history......!!Harry is the owners son ( his dad owns the business ie silverstone auctions and his dad is called slim shady in the car business world by car traders and car collectors, (without prejudice) ) and harry works for his dad as one of the salesman and that reply back to Wes email is a salesman’s response ie only sense it makes is ...no sense!!!
GBP?Sold at 90k !!!!
