Thanks for sharing!  Lovely background. 

Your car looks very sharp wearing those bundts.

Thanks for the kind comments.
Yes, it’s air-conditioned.
Too hot & humid in day in Singapore.

Drive it topless in the early mornings & late evenings.

Nice car.   Do yo see other Pagodas in Singapore?

Interesting AC unit.  What is it?

Also, what size are those wheels?

Thanks.
Not many pagodas…best guess, less than 10.
AC came with the car when I bought it so I don’t have information.

14 inch.

Cheers

Hey CT

I can confirm 15 Pagodas in Sgp and probably a few more hidden from view.  My best guess, probably 20+ running around our streets.

You're both in central Singapore.  You should meet and share Pagoda experiences!

I lived in Singapore for five years and never saw one, EVER. My concerns in owning one in Singapore was the humidity and heats effect on a classic car, rubber wear etc. also needing a functioning air con, which you seem to have solved. Congratulations and good to hear that there are almost 20 floating around as I am a frequent visitor and will keep looking. No shortage of Lambo’s, Porsche and Bentleys 😂
