Pagoda Spotted in Marbella - anyone

[Ben]

I spent a few weeks in Puerto Banus, Spain, recently and spotted a 280SL in mid blue with tan interior. It had peculiar side rubbing strips half way up its sides !

Just wondering if anyone knows or owns it ?

Ben, according to the guy I purchased my car from who lives in Marbella and where it resided for the last 20+ years, there are about 10 cars there, all pampered with the superb climate.
There is also a garage between Banus and San Pedro that looks after most of them.
My European residence is just outside Marbella and when I finally get to settle down there with my Pagoda, I will try to setup some form of group.

Still looking at Ireland this summer in addition to the Needham market trip!

Rob,
We already have a Group, you just need to get those people to join!  Show them your Pagoda Worlds.

I have a second home down there two just near Riviera ! Maybe we'll meet up down there and enjoy a cold beer in the Sun Rob !

Pity I missed that garage, I would have liked to call in !

This one wasn't pampered, it was ready for a paint job at least !

Hi Guys,

With all the interesting places people live, we should get a group together to drive house-to-house-to-house.  I'd volunteer Alsace--there's plenty of room if we park the cars on the lawn (as both garages and the carport are full, and you know why!)  Or how about taking something ridiculous (like a garden gnome) on a relay race?

There's two theories to arguin' with a woman.  Neither one works.
