BMW 3.0 CSL 3.2 Batmobile

The 3.2 CSL, known as the Batmobile for its towering aero kit, was the last and most extreme development of BMW's E9 coupe. Only 167 were built in late 1973 and 1974-75, all left-hand drive, with a 3,153cc fuel-injected M30 straight-six and aluminium doors and bonnet. This car is a Phase 1 car finished in Polaris Silver with the M tri-colour graphics, a four-speed Getrag manual gearbox and Scheel half-leather seats.

Chassis 2275478 was built in September 1973 and delivered in Essen, as confirmed by BMW Mobile Tradition. It stayed in Germany until 1999, when it was bought by Martin Pearse of MCP Motorsports and registered in the UK. It was last used on the road in 2014 and then stored.

It has since had a two-year restoration by RS Garage, taken back to a bare shell and rebuilt, with a full photographic log. The original matching-number engine and gearbox were rebuilt, and the suspension, brakes and wheels were renewed or refurbished. The page gives the mileage as 0 and the car is MOT and tax exempt.
