Update 2019:

This superb CSL has been in the hands of the previous owner for the last 18 years as part of his collection of rare and low mileage classics. He has done little with the car, other than admire it. There is a very comprehensive file of history prior to his ownership, dating back to 1980 when it was sold to a Mr Tyler for £2,600. He clearly appreciated it, spending freely on care and maintenance, including a respray for £2,100 in 1981. There are numerous bills on file from BM Sport and several from Wood & Pickett from this period in the car’s life.
 

Tyler kept it until 1989 when it was sold to Mr V Cunnell. He used the car regularly, adding around 11,500 miles over the next seven years before deciding to commission a comprehensive restoration, which he entrusted Bramley Garage to administer in 1996. They engaged E9 experts Munich Engineering to strip the car, carry out the necessary body repairs and respray in period correct Golf Yellow, replacing the car’s original scheme of Ceylon Gold. The work carried out was very comprehensive and is fully detailed in bills on file.

Once complete, it was clearly too good to use, so was sold in 1997 to Mr Barrett who was to keep the car until it entered the vendor’s hands in 2000 through Straight-8 Garages by which time it had covered 84,500 miles, a figure which hasn’t changed since then. The car has lived in a Carcoon ever since.

Supplied with an old style V5, 12 old MOTs and a handbook and CLS supplement, this fine and well-historied CSL, in striking Golf Yellow, is as good as it gets…
