re: any CSL's out there?

Having owned about a dozen CSL's over the past 28 years I may be able to help. I
still own the first CSL I acquired 28 years ago, it has all the aero pieces and
alloy parts. I also still own an ex- factory CSL FIA group 2 racer that I acquired
15 years ago. Each has been driven or raced extensively while I've had them.

Ask away.
