"Winter"
« on: February 21, 2014, 17:42:46 »
We have an abnormal winter in the south-western Poland, where I live. Since we have not seen snow yet, there is no salt on the roads.
In today's temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, I decided to wake up my Sleeping Beauty for a short ride on the back roads around my little town ...

And a beauty she is :) bet she enjoyed the fresh air as much as you did!

I've taken mine out 3 times so far this winter when the roads were nice and dry.

Dario
forget the winter, get ready to get together :)
I will send you and other Polish Pagoda freaks (as you said ;D) an invitation for Autonostalgia show (15-17 May). We are invited to show our cars inside the exposition hall and to the gala dinner on Saturday...
I managed to secure a place next to the official Mercedes area, and our plan is to have 10-15 Pagodas of all types together.
Stay tuned!

Thank you for kind words.
JonnyB, take a look at: www.ams-hagen.de
Art.Number: ADS-RO0068
If it's currently out of stock, wait week or two, it should back. Price about 120€ plus shipping costs.

Stan, great news, I hope to get one place for my. Now I wonder how to borrow closed trailer or how to pass the 200 mls road with prepared and cleaned Pagoda on open trailer.
May, short rains, dirt on the roads... and exhibition. Three months to thinking or maybe someone of the forum participants tell a clever solution? Thx in advance.

Dario,

Very nice looking car.  What color-code white is it?  Is this the original color combo?

Thank you, the official color code is 670H. Interior was originally 1079 leather red with square weave carpeting medium red 6509. We decided to change the colour of leather and carpet.
Eventually carpeting came from KHM, also square weave Haargarn-Boucle (413A tan mottled).
Generally it was worth it, because better is to enjoy the corresponding interior, than to struggle in the original.
Greetings, Dario.
