Good day all,
Finally after around 20 years of dreaming, I was finally in a position to buy a Pagoda. After reading this site top to bottom, I followed advice and went for the best condition I could afford (any model/colour, as long as it was as close to original, rust free and mechanically sound). It took almost 12 months of searching, no easy task because there is a very small supply in Australia (especially right hand drive with those requirements). Finally a member on this site had one for sale (250sl, 1967), with the bonus of it being in Perth where I had just moved too, obviously meant to be! I new straight away it was the one for me so I broke the piggy bank and took the plunge. I have been driving it for a few weeks now and it goes perfectly (for a 50 year old car). One thing I have noticed is the looks/comments I get from friends and even total strangers, they really love the car. One reason I think of is that these classics remind us of the "good old days" when life was so much simpler. It certainly reminds me of my childhood every time I get into her, my dad had some old mercs when I was growing up and they were happy days😄. Anyway enough, love this site and attached are a few photos I had done in the local studio.
