one hint of summer and London goes mad. This evening I passed a beautiful 71 white with black interior 280. I frantically removed my glove and from the comfort of the wife's Vespa handed him a card. I deserve danger money! God bless the traffic on the Embankment

Same trip out in Mortlake a 68, white with raised black hood. No cards left to hand to her as she went the other way

Were you in that car park that sits behind the Dorchester at the bottom of Sth Audley St? I think I saw that car in there a couple of years back

If you want "wasted metal" try the car park under Cadogan Square!

paulr · « **Reply #353 on:** June 05, 2008, 13:40:33 »

No, I know it though. I was in the one beside the Connaught. I also know Cadogan Square, of course but the very best is the one in Kinnerton Street in Knightsbridge.

Talk about small world! Today, in the market parking lot in my little western Massachusetts town, I was approached by an individual who reported that he had a white car like mine! A couple of hours later, after getting together with BOTH cars, AllenRX is a member of our group after owning his 1968 280SL for 31 years!

Welcome Allen!!

Kevin, I Live in Stafford Spings on Hampden rd right across the boarder in CT. Would love to see another 113! Have yet to come across another since buying mine a little over a year ago.

KevinC · « **Reply #359 on:** June 08, 2008, 21:09:09 »

Don,

I am on Stafford Road in Hampden! What color is your car? I might have seen you earlier this year. I know of three others aside from mine. We should get together this weekend if its nice.

Here in Germany you can see Pagoda` really just from time to time, but not very often. Of course you can see many of them on the classic meetings and such things.

I hope that I`ll also find something sooner or later that I will be able to promoting PAgodas in our neigbourhod.

Good post really

Kevin,

Hi. Apparently Don's car is 190G Graphite Gray.

Picked up on that after sending.

It's interesting to note that three pagodas reside in Western Massachusetts within less than twelve square miles of each other!

Saw one, last week in a car restoration shop in Arvada, Co. It was without seats, chrome, lights and dash instruments. Wanted to take a picture when I went back but forgot my camera.

There I was riding my bike through Kensington [ London ], I came across a silver pagoda [ Reg Muf !] this evening.('

')
She was driven by a young Lady while on her mobile phone I hasten to add!(' :twisted: ')

I managed to pull over at the lights and took out my wallet & withdrew a W113 card.('

') I caught up with her in the traffic and passed the card, she smiled, I rode off into the sunset.('

')

No one has ever said on here, O, that was me!! Have they?

Hi Paulr

I did ask my wife whether she saw a dog, she said it all happened rather quick.('')

Is this the fist time that one of 'US' [ Pagoda group ] has actually admitted being spotted ('')

Visiting San Diego this past weekend. Saw a white 280SL valet parked at a hotel near fashion Valley. Didn't have time to stop. Looked pretty clean with its hard top on.

Anyone here?

Saw a very sharp white with black top, 113sl on top of a car carrier, on State Road 50 crossing the State of Florida about a month ago. Not sure just which year it was though. It was the best looking car of all of them on the truck! Probably on it's way to the port for a trip back to Europe. Also saw a brown 280 parked on Newbury St. in Boston last Fall.

On the 17th going into Tahoe City a very nice white Pagoda was headed out toward Truckee and on the 19th as we headed out of Tahoe City the same white pagoda passed us going down Hyw 89 south...??

Peter van Es · « **Reply #372 on:** June 21, 2008, 09:21:26 »

Today, 21st june 2008, on N201 driving from Hilversum to Vinkeveen, out to take some photographs for "the Book", saw a beige / papyrus white Pagoda driving the other way, across the Amsterdam-Rijn canal. Honked and waved.

Then, about 90 minutes later after taking some pictures and having a nice ride, driving back across the same bridge, AT EXACTLY the same spot saw him again, but he was again driving the other way. We both honked and waved again... how is that for coincidence?

Regrettably neither of the times did the traffic allow us to stop and exchange notes or this site. If it was you, you'll know it, so speak up!

Did a car show today in a suburb of Chicago. There was another Pagoda being shown, a 1970 Euro 280sl. The owner told me he bought it in Paris 20 years ago.
In addition, someone showing a 1947 MG TC, told me he had a 280sl at home.
Neither of these gentlemen knew of our group. I didn't have any club cards with me, but I told them they would find www.sl113.org interesting and beneficial.

Hey ya'll

I an here in my hotel room at CDG in Paris, flying home in the morning.

Spotted 3 pagodas here in Europe during my travels, A white 230sl was in the car park of our Hotel in Triberg, Schwartzwald, at the Classic Center in Fellbach there was a Tunis Beige 70ish 280sl parked behind the work shop, and inside the Mercedes Museium there was a metalic beige 65ish 230sl with middle blue metalic hardtop. In the safety by design display.

edit: the Pagoda that I saw in the Museum is also the car featured on p. 16 of the book "Faszination SL", sold in the gift shop.
