Hello to everyone, briefly I'll try to introduce myself and my dream plan. I'm Jaka Bernardic, 22 years old student from Slovenia (EU) and I'm really in love with classic cars. About 2 years ago I've restored Triumph Spitfire MK3, but I was allways dreaming about MB Pagoda convertible…
Here is a link to Slovenian site about a part of my restoration process, sorry in slovenian language…=
http://www.starodobnik.net/topics/3502 I'm tracking this forum daily and I must say I allready got a lot of useful informations, I've saved my scholarships and salaries for 4 years and now I want to realize my dreams with a Pagoda SL.
I've allready saw plenty of Pagodas that were reachable for me on US websites, but I was allways just too slow, from other side of the world (Slovenia).
That is why I decided I will visit USA with my girlfriend on 20th of June for 2 months, to find a proper SL for me or even make USATRIP with it.
So I'm looking for SL, any year, I don't want a show car, just decent and original driver.
I would be very grateful if someone is prepared to give me some help regarding my questions:
1. Does anyone know for a driveable 230/250/280SL for a fair price?
2. Is it possible then to register it on my name in USA and drive with it around in USA?
3. What I need to register a car in USA, is there a way to register it as an antique vehicle?
4. Do you think that is possible to make a 5000km trip with a Pagoda (of course I would make everyday stops…)
5. Are there some Mercedes Pagoda events/ Mercedes meetings or even car markets from 20th of june to 20th of August?
Maybe I'll have some more questions, so I will post more of them...
Thanks to all that would be prepared to asnwer and help me allready in further and sorry for my language.
