I received my issue of this magazine in yesterday’s mail. It took some time crossing the Atlantic and then the US!  It’s contains a great series of articles about the 60 years of the existence of w113 models. For those who enjoy reading about our cars, I can heartily recommend getting a copy.

In addition to the expected set of articles, pagodas show up elsewhere in other pieces.  A shot of the green early '50s racing Allard has a 113 body shell in primer in the background.  The article about the Toyota Landcruiser restorer and collector in South Africa has a side bar listing of his considerable collection of Toyota 4x4s.  Included in his collection is a Pagoda, which also gets a brief mention in the article!
