Spending more and more time on here as opposed to other forums so, thought it time to introduce me and my car!

Me?...an old fart, that'll do for now.

Car?...see below.

Bought April '15, 73000 miles, now sits at 78450.

Changes :-

AP brakes front and rear
Supersprint LWR exhaust
Head gasket, bottom bearings and oil pump done as preventative work.

Just home after buying it, parked behind my old Mini that was waiting for its new owner to collect it. The GP was a bit of a brute, absolutely nothing left standard.



Over the last two months the front end has been resprayed to loose the stone chips, it's had a visit to Paintshield for the self repairing vinyl to front spoiler and lower half of the rear 3/4 panels. Then it was in for a 2 stage machine polish and a coating of gTechnic Crystal Serum. Well happy with the end result!

In for paint




Finished article

Very nice... Is it a daily car? And a keeper?

Utterly, utterly magnificent. I saw one of these heading down the M3 from between Southampton and Winchester a few weeks back and took a double take in my rear view mirror as I saw the different front bumper....confirmed my thoughts it was a CSL when I saw the bootlid was different.

Really nice cars, enjoy!

Any chance you could post some interior shots?

Gutted I missed the boat on these. Put off selling my Alfa and 12 months later the prices had gone into space so had to settle for a Z4M instead.

That is a stunning car. I notice it's not got Xenon headlights. How bare is the rest of the spec sheet? Zero option cars are very rare.

It's a keeper for the foreseeable.

More of a high day / holiday car. I'm away with work 6 months of the year and have a runabout for mundane stuff when home.
