my bmw 3.0 csl

[bmwcsl]

It took a few years to restore and has been in the family since 1980. She will be heading to le mans as long as all goes to plan.

and with some of its siblings at goodwood.

now that is stunning!
love the original bewinged CSL's in particular, looks like you've carried out a nice detailed resto there!

i had a look at this very similar example at a show recently,



great cars no question!

I love the yellow colour - so 70's!

What show was that at?

Will keep an eye out for you. I'm very much looking forward to it and hoping to do a bit of messing about with the car before hand so as to make it more enjoyable.

Goegerous car. One of my all time favourites! Well done for sticking with the project for so long.

not usually a fan of yellow on modern cars, but it is such a great period colour on these in particular i agree!

the show was the Shuttleworth Classic car event which ran from Sunday to Monday over the last bank holiday

i saw an earlier 3.0 CSL there too (much like the others in your pic)

Thaks 911 - i get sick of her sometimes when something is up that I can't solve but once she is going right all is forgiven - she has yet to let me down on a trip though which is a testament to the simple and bullet proof mechanics.

Forthright - must have been a good show. I'm also not a fan of yellow on modern cars - I really like the orange and green on these too.

[Carbon-Me1]

WOW Absolutely love the car, and great colour.

[Goldeeno]

Is it yellow or green? Is that an original colour? I like it, beautifully restored!

[ironictwist]

What an absolute beauty! Bravo!

[sleep envy]

oh dear

I've had an accident

that it gorgeous!!!

[bmwcsl]

Glad you all like it - hoping that once I get the perpetual to do list done this year I will make it to a lot more car shows and hopefully meet a few of you guys at them.

It has a lot of sentimental value to me as I fell in love with the car at about the age of 8 and was planning its rebirth from the age of about 12! When the resto was started it still had my child seat in the back of it!

Here she is again
