James, Olga's looking very nice there!  Looks like she spent some time in Italy?  BTW what color is she?

Those are 'my' Italian signal lights on there (I sent a pair to JP maybe two years back from The Netherlands)! Good to see them on the car, very nice looking.

Hauser, Her paint is DB-178, medium gray metallic. Actually, it is more a khaki/olive color than gray. Black interior. I've not seen another Pagoda this color. Think I'll post to the discussion forum to see how many are are around. Yes, she was originally sold in Italy to a US Army officer who brought her back to the States with him & eventually sold her to owner #2 who used her lovingly as a daily driver for 25 years. I bought her in '02 (owner #3) after Tom Sargeant decided to pass on the purchase :-). Regards,     -JP-
PS- Cees (Case), Pretty sharp for you to pick up on the side lights! I remain indebted to you for that kindness.
