History:
Circa 2010: this is a Classic Racing BMW CSL design and the main challenge with
this project was to create an accurate visual representation of the race
car with the correct body kit to enable Jay to accurately choose and
make decisions on the design he wanted. A simplified blueprint of top,
front, back and sides was created based on the look and design of
similar historical cars. The design, was heavily influenced by
the BMW CSL racing history of the 1970s, and specifically the
works/motorsport designs and the Alpina Colours. Final step was an
accurate design and artwork for the paint job and devised how it would
look from every angle. This enabled to make changes and try different
versions before deciding on the finished look.

Transaction:
2017:
- To be offered for sale by Silverstone Auctions at Race Retro
Competition Car Sale 2017, Stoneleigh Park, Coventry.
- The car is Lot no. 128 and the chassis number is alledged
2331066.
- Final auction £92,000 and is going to Germany. Lack of FIA
papers reduces price potential.
- 24th February 2017 starting at 2pm.
- Guide price: £100000 - £125000.
- The car was converted from a 3.0CS road car in the late
1980s by saloon racer, the late Tim Busby, and has accumulated
many excellent race results over the ensuing 30 years on race
tracks all over the world. In 2004 it was sold to Silverstone
Auctions owner, Nick Whale, and co-owned by Nick's best mate Ian
Guest. The pair campaigned the car in Patrick Peter's Classic
Endurance Racing series 'CER,' throughout Europe, including
twice at Classic Le Mans in 2004 and 2006 where it won its
'Plateau' on both occasions. It also won the coveted Index of
Performance award at the 2004 Le Mans as well as further class
wins at Monza, Silverstone, and Spa. It was then sold to Alan
Tice who successfully campaigned the car for two or three
seasons in the Masters series, before changing hands again in
2013 to our vendor who is a well-known collector of classic cars
but not a racer. During his ownership he had the engine rebuilt
by noted engine specialist Lester Owen in 2014 at a cost of
6,800, and also had the bodywork modified to Group IV type
arches and a full repaint. Since then the car has been to one
track day where it covered just a handful of laps at
Silverstone. The dyno sheet confirms 379bhp on tap and 306
lbs/ft torque available when Lester had finished the engine
rebuild late in 2014. The original, and very rare, Kugelfischer
slide fuel injection is still fitted and the car is ready to be
enjoyed once again, although it will need fresh race preparation
as it has had so little use over the last 3 years. A spares
package come with this Lot which includes a total of 8 spare
wheels, various brake pads, drive shaft components, wheel
bearings, various suspension parts and front centre lock hubs.
The FIA papers are now expired and the seat and belts should be
changed before competitive use.

Additional info: footybatmobileman on e9 forum (contacted via
