Looks gorgeous.
Love the contrast between body and hardtop and the whitewalls.

Thank you. According to the datacard the roof is supposed to be 171 Beige.. it's Black at the moment.. I'm not sure how it would look with two contrasting Beige like colours (body is 158).

Welcome and I'm sure you're going to have a great time with your Pagoda. I saw your posting first on the NSW Club site and that dark contrasting roof looks fabulous.   A Manual aswell, should be great fun.  No end of great photo ops in Sydney

cheers rob

Very nice.  Now just for fun you can get another set of hubcaps and paint them to match the roof.   See how you like the dark roof then.

The PO painted my hardtop to match the car and I am seriously thinking about painting it back to black.   

Have fun.

Hi Pagoda 84. Congratulations. A lovely colour combination indeed and I look forward to seeing it 'in the flesh'. Your new Pagoda appears to be parked in Paddington, not far from mine, in Darling Point, NSW. Please be sure to keep your eye out for "Goldie", my '68 RHD 280SL, in the area.
