Famous owners past and present

[iftykhan]

As our desirable cars have always had a strong following, I was wondering how many famous owners of pagodas there have been over the years?
Repetition of names is not a problem as this just confirms ownership.
I know of around a dozen so i'll kick off with a couple of names.

1 The Gallagher Brothers from Oasis. My brother reckons he saw two pagodas outside a remote recording studio in Buckinghamshire a few years back. He asked a security guy who claimed the cars belonged to the brothers in Oasis.

2 Supermodel Kate Moss. She's owned a pagoda for a number of years.

I know there are much bigger names out there..............

Ifty, If you scroll down this link ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W113

to Famous Owners ... you will find a few more.

You may have seen it before

There are more ... for example ... John Travolta’s 280SL (white) was stolen in 2011. Then shortly thereafter he was spotted in another.

Then some time ago there was another thread on our forum ---> http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=1948.0

Wow, this topic has been well and truly covered.
Message to myself : check previous posts before starting a "new" one!!

The guys at Roger Edwards Motors did tell me once that Lenny Henry came to their workshop to collect Dawn French's pagoda, and ended up answering their phone for a couple of hours. He spent most of the time trying to convince the callers he was Lenny Henry.

The next Octane Magazine has a "Day in the Life" interview in the back with Susie Wolff
She bought Toto a 280SL for him 6 years ago... but she loves driving it in places like the Stelvio pass

Must be an F1 thing

She might not be so famous, still this Canadian Lady in British Columbia Canada drives a nice Pagoda.

Have to check if she is a Member of our group
