Are you asking about how to find the missing engine, how to get a new engine, how to get missing parts?

I think we need to know exactly what help you need.

Are you a DIYer or looking for a repairer to do it for you?

Hi, again,

Are you a member of the MB UK Club?

http://www.mercedes-benz-club.co.uk

Roger Edwards Motors do a lot of Pagoda work for members and aslo rebuild engines.
They used to be in Wembley but have now moved to Herts, I think. Tel: 01494 766766.

There is also:

There are a couple of members here form the East side of London who may be able to recommend somebody local to you.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your resto.

Naj likely means me (Wapping). I'd take it to Roger Edwards Motors. It ain't gonna be cheap but a lot of the people who rally Pagodas use Roger Edwards to do all the prep. They know the engines very well
