BMW 3.0L CSL For Sale by Auction (1973)
£0 - As stated
British title
Chassis #2285404
- Competitor model of the 911 2.7L RS
- A documented quality preparation
-Perfect for the Tour Auto
Considered the first M version of BMW, the 3.0 CSL is a 200 kg lighter version of the 3.0 CS coupe, presented at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. Developed by the brand new BMW Motorsport competition department, under the direction of former pilot Jochen Neerpasch, it aimed the European Touring Car Championship. The BMW 3.0 CSL is therefore a production car designed for racing.
Acquired in England in 2009 by its current owner, a former Paris-Dakar runner, while the car was a RHD, our car has just been restored. The work done was very serious, including exposing the box. On this occasion, for a quality rally preparation, all the welds were doubled and a FIA approved ASD roll bar was welded to the hull. The mechanics was not left behind either. The engine has been rebuilt, with the installation of an Alpina type reinforced cylinder head gasket, combined with a reinforced clutch and cooling radiator. The Getrag 262 gearbox has undergone a complete overhaul and the injection has been replaced. The travelling trains were prepared. An upper anti-roll bar has been added and the stainless steel exhaust is new. All this work was carried out by the specialist "München Legends Cars" for an amount of more than 57 000 €, with invoices in support. Taking advantage of all these improvements, the owner chose to convert his car to left-hand drive and to apply a metallic polaris paint, combined with a 3-colour CSL band, for the most beautiful effect. Here is a car in superb condition and intelligently sharpened.
Auction estimate: €150 000/180 000
