Title: Classic and Sports Car magazine
Post by: Larry & Norma on October 01, 2012, 17:01:04

'Classic and Sports Car' magazine are running an article next month on our beloved Pagodas.
On sale 1st November.
Article entitled 'Who needs a Gullwing'. Should be interesting :)

A quick skim through the ads this month... 4 Pagodas, £47 to £64,000. Strong money - OK, all dealer cars and not the "low" end at that (which may also tell us something) but the days of a Pagoda being at a dealer at under £30 thou seem to be behind us (for now!)

edit - sorry, found another two - at 110 and 125. Of our British pounds

Just to add to JamesL's observation on strenthening prices in the UK - it really has been quite noticeable recently.   I wonder what brought on the sudden interest? A sign of green shutes in the economy?

Mag came today, article on the Pagoda has nothing but praise for the car from a self confessed 'Pagoda sceptic' :)

I looked yesterday. Barnes & Noble hasn't put the November issue on the shelf as yet. Looking forward to reading the article.

Hi all - I have been going through the Hemming's at my local library.  Can anyone tell me when the last time Hemming's did an article on Pagodas?  (also, perhaps verboten here but: any 107 articles recently?

Thanks!

I found three articles specific to the Pagoda - September 2005, May 2008 and Oct 2011. If you go to Hemmings.com, there is a search function. I tried mercedes 113 and got 32 hits, the three I listed seemed the most specific to the Pagoda.

The November issue has nothing even closely related to Pagodas, but Ferrari Dinos on the front page, are you sure it is not the December issue (and if that's the case, how the hell did you manage to get your hands on one?)
