DESCRIPTION
The European Touring Car Championship of the early 1970's encouraged performance manufacturers to build some rare and exciting homologation specials, notably Ford with their Escort and Capri derivatives and BMW with their CSL.Standing for 'Coupe Sport Leicht', the BMW 3.0 CSL was indeed light - having an aluminium bonnet, boot and doors combined with a reduced trim saving a valuable 300lbs in excess weight. With power as standard from the 3.0 straight six giving 206 bhp and a strong aero package (front chin spoiler and rear boot lid lip spoiler), the 1,039 CSLs produced by BMW are now highly collectable and sought after, particularly rare original righthand drive factory produced cars, such as this particular car.
The car offered here has had one Exeter registered owner from new. It is finished in it's original colour of red, is a righthand drive UK car with a full and known history from new and is now in totally original specification, colour and trim.
This rare car has recently received the benefit of a total and thorough mechanical and body restoration and re-paint by renowned specialists that has taken several years to complete. Offered now with a fresh 12 month MoT and road tax, this beautiful car is worthy of close inspection. Offered at no reserve, it is not to be missed...
