Hi
These are my details of my CSK although I do not know the number and do not have any CSK documents.
I have written to past owners with no success.
I live in North Norfolk, The car Reg No H901 KAR is T&T and in good condition with 112K miles on the clock.
I am the fifth owner.
It is original apart from the radio which I hope to change soon.

Does anyone know how many CSK's survive now...Nene figure 60 according to their eBay ad but there are about 71 listed of the 200 CSK's on this website.

I reckon there are 30 decent ones left, as in running and on the
road............and of those maybe 10 are in good condition.......
as in ORIGINAL.......not restored or upgraded engines or LPG
conversions etc etc ..........
These are becoming very rare beasts indeed. wished I 'd kept
my other two ...........

I think mine is in good condition, relatively rust free and most everything works on it excepting air-conditioning ( not cold air anyway but blows good ) and rear hatch central locking.
Headlining now needs attention.

Latest quirk is an apparent capilliary action that drains the washer fluid through the drivers side headlight washer jet but doesn't do that on passenger side jet....I've raised the washer hose at the pump end and that has done the trick...I think....weird...just happened this winter for some reason.

Its all stock...no upgrades or modifications...just going through MOT now.

The action you describe is most likely the result of this item being faulty;

I would think there are very few "unrestored" or original CSK's left as most will have had some form of replaced panels and even more will have had poor patch jobs to cover over rust.

It seems that items like the front spot lamps (bumper mounted) appear to get replaced with non-hella items etc.

There was also a CSK on ebay recently that had a black interior, very odd.

Good Morning, everyone!

Details for the register are:
CSK No: 015
Owner: Sergey Sidorov, ssidorov@mercuria.com
Location: Geneva, Switzerland with UK reg (G15 CSK)
Condition: Acceptable in 90's
Comments: Apprx. 113K miles, dealer serviced, but will need some work soon (repaint and interior work)
Anything interesting: Converted to LHD in Poland two owners before me. Comes with full CSK memorabilia (presentation box, brochures, etc). Don't have any old UK MOT's, service bills, so if Johnners still has them, would appreciate a PM.

Thanks peteB

I will check into it after CSK comes back from MOT.

My Hella's are original I believe.

Think the panels are all original.

I have just put on new 205R16 Continental Contact M & S...£78 each all in...seem to ride well but have hardly put any miles on them so far.

Will look into the headlining problem asap.
