Wonder how many were there
Usually they have around 200 Pagoda cars at their yearly gathering. Local events can be any number below that.
There are many Pictures and Films to enjoy from each yearly German gathering, see web:

As you can see, our Pagoda is not so 'rare'.

Hi,
very nice. I notice that some headlamps are USA? Wonder ( as a USA import owner) if there are many cars left over there.

I really like the colour scheme of the lead car there. Anyone know what that might be?

It seems that there are about 4.300 Pagoda's are registered in Germany in 2014.

Yes Gerster, you are quite right. Below are two tables showing 113 cars registered in Germany up to including 2014. This does not include of course cars being restored or just sitting in someone's garage to be restored at a later date :)

Would be nice to know how many there are in North America and the rest of the world. The tables show that the Germans like to keep data up to date :)
