ANOTHER PAGODA...
« on: April 03, 2006, 17:44:00 »
 :D  :D
Not sure what I'm thinking... bought a '67 250SL last month, and have had nothing but problems with her... so today I bought another! This one is a Yellow '69 280SL - guess I'm a COLLECTOR now!

Fantastic. I am really pleased that this car has ended up in a good home and with an enthusiast owner. The colour is stunning. One of my neighbours has a yellow R129 SL and even on a dark winter morning it glows.

Do you have a collection or an addiction?

Regards
Andrew

Well done, John,

Always good to have a 'spare'.

Now double the orders for all the parts and bits and pieces.
You cannot be seen to be favoring one!![:p]

I want one more also just can not figure out how to tell the  :? wife!
 Please post a slightly larger picture. Always curious what one would look like in yellow. I have steered clear of yellow for a car color because I am afraid that like the color it would be a lemon. Also curious what color is the interior and soft top?
Best Regards
Ernie

No JP... I've enjoyed the surprises with the 250 sooo much, thought I'd just roll the dice again! (joke) Yea, the seller got tired of all of my demands and coveats... It's a winner! As for my wife - actually, she is the one that insisted - I was ready to move on with my interests, and she said she really liked the YELLOW! Well after keeping me since '66, guess she is used to my jumping in with both feet! When I do something... I do it all the way!

Good going John. I suppose we could run a poll on multiple-Pagoda ownership. I am not aware of others than Tom, Naj, yourself, and Mal in Lebanon? Maybe Walter 'diesel' Klatt?
