Condition 2016: for major restoration, runs and drive.
 

This original CSL has had only two owners from new: the first (Mr P Arnold) from 1974 to 1982, and the current vendor from 1982 to date. There are bills of file relating to a cylinder head overhaul in 1978 and a re-spray in 1981, and the car also comes with its service booklet, stamped up to May 1975 (at 18,004 miles). Since then the odometer has been 'around the clock', the current recorded mileage of 9,667 reflecting an actual distance covered of 109,667 miles.

Last MoT'd in 1996, the BMW has been in storage for the last 20 years and is offered for restoration. Benefiting from a newly fitted fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, and an exhaust system, the car runs and drives, but several body panels need replacing. It comes complete with spare wheel, (partial) tool kit, some expired MoTs and tax discs, a V5C Registration Certificate, and an original handbook and brochures.
