Car Registry
Explanation
The Car Registry is open to all members of the Pagoda SL Group. To include your car in the Registry, please send an e-mail to the Registrar at registrar@sl113.org, and include all the details for listing in the table (use the following template in your e-mail):
Member Name: your name, the way you'd like it. If you like privacy, use your forum name Year/Model: 1965 230 SL (the year of production please) Colors: Dark Olive Green, tan leather interior, black cloth soft top (you may include color codes if needed VIN: in the format 113.044-12-020065 (mind the dashes) Engine number: in the format 129.982-22-000030 (mind the dashes) Options: Options your SL was delivered with ex-Factory, e.g: Power steering, Becker Grand Prix Mileage and Date: what mileage or kilometerage your car has driven and when you checked Comments: Anything noteworthy you might want to tell us: Barn find, fully restored, whatever.
The Registry is a valuable source of information about W113 Pagodas. Accurate and complete information in the Registry about a large number of cars will allow owners to learn about cars built about the same time as their car; about cars with similar features and options; and to extract statistics about cars with manual or automatic transmissions, as just a few examples.
The Registry will be most useful if it is accurate and complete. Please submit complete information about a car to be listed. Be especially careful to include the entire VIN number, engine number, and options. When describing colors, try to include the Paint Color Codes as well as the color names. For historic purposes, we would always like to know the exterior color when the car left the factory if the color has since been changed.
Please also let us know if there are omissions or errors in the Registry. Also let us know if you sell your car -- it would be really great if the new owner was told about about us, so that he or she can "join the club".
Car Registry
Note: This table is sortable! Each column can be sorted by clicking the name of a column at the top. The sort is according to ASCII sorting rules so an entry with an upper case CAPITAL letter will not always follow a similar entry in lower case. A blank is considered a character and will affect the sort as will a comma, dash, or period. These sort 'spoilers' will be edited by the Registrar.
Suggested uses of the sort function: sort the VIN column to find cars with VIN numbers near your car; or all manual cars; or sort the Member column to see if your friend has listed his/her car. Caution here: some of the MEMBER entries are nicknames, handles, have initial first letters, etc. so this may not be successful.
Another way to locate an item in the table is to use the "Find On This Page" function of a browser. Enter "italy" and "italian" to find Euro cars sold in Italy or located in Italy. Search using all possible variations of what you are looking for since the entries can vary. The "Find" search can locate colors, transmissions, options, owners, and more.
If a "Find on This Page" search does not deliver the result you are looking for, change the "Find" word. An example, when looking for all "euro" cars, a Find for "euro" will bring up every entry with a Europa radio. To avoid this, the Find can be modified to search for "euro " (note the space after "euro". The space will eliminate all "Europa" entries but will deliver all "euro" items. This is just one example to show that a search might need to be refined before it will give the desired result.
