LHD Pagoda in front of the King's College in London
« on: January 20, 2014, 14:48:07 »
My daughter's alert eye caught this pretty LHD Pagoda early afternoon today in front of the King's College in London.

The car looks like a 230 or 250 with US headlamps, but no side markers nor bumper buffers. Any culprit?

Not sure,
My daughter, 19 years old, wouldn't mind having one...
As it was already established, Pagoda is a much more efficient head-turning tool than most modern cars, so I bet that wise young male-students have already noticed that too ;)

Stan, I do agree about the Pagoda being a head turning car more so then any late model car out there on the road. I've driven four different late model M3 cars in the past 10 years, sure my M3's got some attention, nothing like the Pagoda I drive in the summer time. I cannot drive from one end of the city to the other without getting comments like "What a lovely car, what year is it?" or "Nice car I love the colour!" those kind of comments are shouted to me on traffic lights LOL

BTW. Kings Collage I know it well my daughter did one of her Masters there some years ago. I remember seeing more bicicles there then cars, I still think the owner might be one of the Professors :)
