Information
After a serious accident in 1979, the CSL was retired at Cronks Garage in Redhill. In 1980, the CSL was in a garage in Balcombe, West Sussex and used as shelf to stock old mufflers. There was little left from the car, brakes, windows, dashboard and interior trim had gone, only the shell and powertrain was still there. In 1988, Ray Nichols bought the CSL along with a CSI for 1000 BPD. It was decided to do a ground up restoration of the car. Fortunately the car had stayed in dry storage all the time and was frquently moved around, keeping the mechanical parts lubricated.
A study of the car revealed no chassis damage despite the accident and no rust damage in the main parts of the shell.
