Cees,
I was there between 2001 and 2005, so about the same period you're talking about. I don't remember the name of my neighbor but he was of Indian descent. Given the name, I don't think we're talking of the same person. May be there are more than one Pagoda in Nairobi. While I was there I also saw a w109 6.3 in a state of despair, but the owner, also of Indian descent, had plans to restore it. I also nearly bought a RHD W111 Cabrio, for a very descent price given where they are today. I'm still kicking myself not to have done so. I also heard of a W100 600 belonging to the Kenyatta family, but I never saw it.
