While the car was built to a very high standard with many new components and expert assistance, it's a race car that has only seen test miles and dyno time. The roll cage, racing harness, fire suppression system, and other components contribute to its race-ready nature. However, the seat and belts are date expired, and the ATL fuel bladder needs replacement or recertification.

On offer here is a very well built example of BMW's legendary 1970s E9 Coupé with an estimate that's a fraction of its build cost.

Its private owner acquired a left-hand drive 1973 3.0CS road car with a V5C during the COVID lockdown period and set about building the very best FIA 'Group 2' BMW ‘Batmobile’-specification he could and the results are impressive.

Marque experts, Laranca Engineering, who have built and run many CSLs in recent decades, were used for technical assistance throughout the project and the car was completed in 2022, with only test miles and dyno-time since.

FIA HTP papers were issued once the build was completed (GB12959) and are valid until 31st December 2031.

The remarkable specification is detailed below: Roll-cage FIA and MSA Certificate included.

Full chassis set up by Laranca Engineering Laranca 3.5-litre race engine, billet dry-sump system, all their top spec components including modifying a brand-new BMW cylinder head Dyno sheet included - 384bhp.
