Hi all, in late 1972 and into early 1973, Britain received 500 Right hand drive 3.0 CSLs. It's anyone's guess just how many of the 500 have survived, but it's probably under 200 cars. A few however ( possibly 20 odd ) have over the years been shipped to Australia inc No 1, which was was originally painted Ceylon Gold. This car went out in the early 1980s via the long defunct " London CSL Centre " which was run by Nigel Wood in Maida Vale West London ( where are you now Nigel ? )

CSL No. 1 has since dissapeared, but it's thought it could now be in the US and re painted Silver. However, does any one know of any CSLs or have any recollections of them in Australia ?
Classic Throttle Shop have a Chamonix white one for sale at the moment and a Taiga Green one was on E bay in 2010. Any info much appreciated.
