These are my two Pagoda's. 
The Blue one we are driving whenever we can (it is a 1965 230SL Auto) and the olive one is the one I am starting to restore (it is a 1967 250SL 4Speed)  The License plate on the blue one has the german spelling of Pagoda.

I like your license plate too, i wonder if there are any more out there.  Thinking when i have the olive one ready, get a plate with the english spelling (PAGODA)

Here are two more for you.  8)
The first one with the "EA" ("Expanded Antique") is my current plate.
The second one with red letters is available in the state of Illinois in the USA as far as I know. I gave it up a couple of months ago.
Enjoy the ride !!  ;D

Manfred,
I neglected to mention, Garry, Jordan, and I were all at the 2009 PUB in Ohio, USA and I believe all three at the 2015 PUB too.
So, we expect to see you at the next PUB, hopefully with your car.
Now if we could get all "PAGODE" plated cars together in one location, that would be a trick.

If you make it to California -  this one's on my 280sl, just don't have a photo of it on the car.


I am sure there are many more out there.
